One of the skills that helps build a life that’s worth living in the long-term is identifying one’s values. And I hate doing it. Ergo why it’s this week’s exposure therapy assignment. I go through a couple questions designed to help me imagine what my life might look like when I’m acting from my values. I grumble about it, but I do it anyway.
