Making the Most of Everyday

As we’ve been learning throughout groups, readings, and assignments this week on values at South Orange County Detox and Treatment, they underlie not only who we are as a person, but also the thoughts and decisions we end up making.  It was interesting to think about and put down on paper by rank my values, and see how they are a part, to the deepest levels, of my decision-making process.  Without knowing it, you make your decisions throughout the day based on your individual core values.  For me, I had fun listed as my top value over all else, and I can see its role that it plays in my decisions in life.  I think of fun more as a “make the most of every day” type of definition.  I always want each day to be fun and have meaning because I could be your last, and that is directly aligned with my core values that I have identified.  Your values can change, and values are behind your decisions, so if you change your values, you can ultimately change your actions.
