Hi, and welcome to your Daily Mindfulness.
Today I'm going to talk about
living from your values.
So we all have values.
They're as much a part of us as our
blood type or our genetic makeup.
They're also as unique to us
as our individual thumbprints.
Our core values determine what's really
important and meaningful to us in life.
So values are the qualities
that reflect who you are in your
deepest nature, not who you think
you should be in order to fit in.
And they're like a compass
that points to true North.
So think of it like this, when the way
that you think speak and behave matches
your values, then life feels really good.
You feel w,hole in your
element contentm in your power.
But when they don't align
with your personal values,
then things just feel uneasy.
You know, you tend to feel a bit out of
touch, out of alignment, discontented,
or unhappy with yourself and your life.
It's that feeling of something just not
sitting right or not feeling quite okay.
So I have a bit of challenge here in
today's Daily Mindfulness, because I
usually take people through a full day
process to get clear on their values, but
we can make a really simple start here
and start to get the gist of something.
So I'm going to invite you to bring to
mind right now, someone you really admire.
So this person could be
a fictional character.
It could be somebody that, you
know, somebody in the media,
they could be living right now
or they might've passed away.
So just seeing what person
brings to mind right now.
And don't overthink it too much.
And as you bring this person to mind,
just thinking about what qualities
that they have that you really admire.
Is it their bravery?
Is it their kindness, their honest?.
Is it their determination, their
playfulness, their passion for life?
Just taking a moment to ponder,
what are those qualities you admire.
So it's likely that would ever the
qualities of this person you admire are,
they're very close approximation to your
own values and what matters to you in
the way that you live your own life.
And the research from Martin Seligman
and other psychologists shows us that the
more you live in alignment with your own
values, the more you cultivate authentic
happiness and meaning in your life.
So every moment of every day, whether we
realize it or not, we're making decisions
on how we spend our time, what we pay
attention to, where we direct our energy.
And our values can be the guides
that when we're in alignment with
them will constantly be reflected
in the way that we choose to behave.
So today, as you go about your day, see
if you can keep in mind your values.
You might even like to write them down.
And that's a really handy thing to get
clear on because in this fast paced
world, around us, with all its demands and
influences, we can sometimes get pulled
off course from what our true values are.
But the more clearly we are about
who we are, what's right for us and
what matters deep down in our heart,
the more we can cultivate lasting
fulfillment and contentment in our lives.
So in today's meditation, we're
going to continue to focus on
this kind of intentional living.
So I invite you to settle in for that now.
And then as always thank you for your
practice and your presence here with us.

Vidyamala’s tips on catching anger as it’s happening or about to happen are great - clear, practical, and doable.

The little talks before the meditations are priceless. It's like I've found my peeps. The topics, the quotes, the goals—it all makes so much sense to me, things I want to be thinking and learning about. Most importantly, the meditations are kindness-centered, which I love. It feels like a new way to approach meditation.
