Accept

You will have trouble investing in your values if you have not accepted them. People often have trouble accepting the less aspirational values. Expectations from the back shout, “this is what a person should value”.

Disregard the sense that this is a moral test. Values are not right or wrong, they are personalized and about meaning.

Review the values list and look for the less-glamourous values.

For example, consider the value of being “comfortable”. While valuing comfort may not carry the notoriety like “family” or “trust” you might be surprised how often you respond to it. You might be surprised the meaning comfort brings to you.
