What are value-based goals<\/a>? How do you connect your goals and values?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Ryan A. Bush, the author of Designing the Mind<\/em>, your goals should be informed by your values. Pursuing value-based goals (instead of desire-based goals) will bring you fulfillment and success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keep reading to learn how to set value-based goals, according to Bush.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Base Goals On Your Values<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Before we explain how to set value-based goals, let\u2019s explore what values actually are<\/em>. Values start as your intuitions about the perceived \u201cgoodness\u201d and \u201cbadness\u201d of different actions and consequences. When you have the same intuitions about what\u2019s good and bad over and over, you get a sense of your ideal traits, such as kindness, courage, or honesty. The collection of these ideals becomes your value system, which represents your ideal self and the traits you want to embody. Embodying your values <\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Shortform note: In The Success Principles<\/em><\/a>,<\/em> Jack Canfield expands on the idea of using goals to shape your behavior, arguing that you should act as if you\u2019ve already achieved your goals.<\/a> This will help you attract and recognize opportunities and people that will bring you closer to completing them. To determine how specifically you should act, ask yourself the following questions: How would you feel when you achieve your goals<\/a>? How would you think? How would you talk? What would you wear? Additionally, try modeling the behaviors of successful people, like self-confidence and comfort with taking risks.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Define Your Values When You Struggle to Intuit Them<\/strong>

Discovering your values<\/a> might be hard if you’re not in touch with your intuition. If you\u2019re in this situation but you still want to gain the benefits of clarifying your values<\/a> (increased success and fulfillment), you’ll first need to take extra action to identify your values<\/a> consciously<\/em>. 

Start by reviewing a list of core values<\/a>\u2014like wisdom, loyalty, and kindness\u2014and write down the ones that resonate with you. Additionally, think about the people you admire most and the qualities they represent, and write down these qualities too. For example, you might admire a family member for their generosity. 

Once you have a list of values you feel represent you, group them into categories. For instance, if you wrote down kindness, generosity, and empathy, you might make a group of values centered around helping others. These groups can help you identify major themes in your value system and figure out what matters most to you. <\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Values vs. Desires<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Bush warns that values shouldn\u2019t be confused with desires.<\/strong> Desires represent the things we want and crave\u2014like a fancy new phone or expensive concert tickets\u2014but they aren\u2019t necessarily the things that will make us happy. Often, when we acquire the object of our desire, it doesn\u2019t make us feel as good as we thought it would, leaving us unsatisfied. Desires also invite loss into our lives\u2014we feel good when we obtain something we want, but we suffer when we inevitably lose it since everything\u2019s impermanent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Shortform note: As Bush states, greater desire often invites greater dissatisfaction. Unfortunately, our modern consumer culture depends on us desiring things.<\/a> Every year, companies spend billions of dollars on advertising that entices us to spend more on items we desire. Then, we desire more money to keep spending, and our dissatisfaction increases. Research shows that people in countries with greater wealth\u2014and thus a more robust consumer culture\u2014are often unhappier than people in poorer countries. To break the cycle of consumerism and desire, focus on appreciating and taking care of what you already have. Additionally, look to the truly important things for fulfillment, like the people you love or activities you enjoy.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even though they rarely contribute to our long-term happiness, Bush notes, desires are often more powerful than values. Our brains are designed to follow desires<\/a> without question\u2014the feel-good chemical dopamine (which is tied to desire) pushes us toward action with the promise that we\u2019ll receive a reward once we get what we want. In contrast, values are steady and ever-present, but they\u2019re also easier to ignore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Reduce Your Dependence<\/a> on Instant Gratification<\/a><\/strong>

Desires are more powerful than values because fulfilling them brings an immediate reward\u2014dopamine\u2014and we\u2019re hardwired to seek instant gratification. It\u2019s much harder for us to conceptualize and make decisions based on an intangible future reward, which is what following our values brings. 

That being said, delaying gratification is a skill we can practice and learn.<\/a> One strategy for doing so is using commitment devices, or circumstances that you set up to remove temptation. For example, say you want to spend more time reading because you value having a wide breadth of knowledge. Still, you\u2019re struggling to achieve your goal because you often pick up your phone and spend hours scrolling through social media instead of reading, since it gives you an instant hit of dopamine. To help you commit to your values-based reading goal, consider putting your phone in another room while you read or deleting the social media app from your phone.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

How to Set Values-Based Goals<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Bush describes a values-oriented framework you can use to align your goals<\/a> and values. As representatives of your ideal self, your values should be at the top of your goal framework, meaning that your goals should always bring you closer to them in some way. Then, use reason and logic to determine the best methods for achieving those goals. Finally, let your desires drive you to take action toward your goals<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, say you strongly value independence. To become closer to your ideal self as an independent person, you make a lofty, value-driven goal to be your own boss someday. Instead of quitting your job right away, though, you use logic to make a plan that will allow you to save enough money to open a business of your own. Finally, you allow your desires\u2014like wanting comfort and security, wanting a flexible schedule, and so on\u2014to push you to take the steps necessary to make the plan a success. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Shortform note: Keeping your goals centered on your values first before <\/em>logic and desires works well because it helps you focus not only on what <\/em>you want but why<\/em> you want it. In other words, values-based goals give you purpose, direction, and motivation<\/a> since they align so closely with what you truly want and who you truly are<\/a>. This means that, in addition to helping you achieve self-mastery<\/a>, values-based goals might actually make you healthier\u2014recent studies show that a sense of purpose<\/a> can have important health benefits. Having a strong sense of purpose<\/a> can counteract the effects of chronic stress<\/a> and protect the body against inflammation. Additionally, high levels of purpose reduce activity in the amygdala, making you less emotionally reactive.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
