Good news: Here comes a new relaxing and calm piano music session you can listen to in the background during your day, while studying, focusing, working, reflecting, making small or big plans, letting your thoughts run free, as a soundtrack during your ME time, and of course also simply to relax and enjoy.
Title: Values List | Type: original calm piano music session
With the previous piano session I reflected about a personal ‘Dreams List’ ( • Dreams List [calm and ... ) that might be a good tool to explore wonderful opportunities that could still be waiting for us to be activated. ‘Vision List’ is a different kind of list. It’s about reminding ourselves of our current personal values, bringing them forward into our consciousness. Why?
Our personal values are an important part of who we are - and who we want to be. Being aware of those can help as a guide to make choices in many situations. I believe when our life matches our values, it feels good and we feel life is right. If this is not the case, we may struggle and risk losing energy because we are surrounded by factors that do not align with our values. Of course, there is always the opportunity to learn, become more resilient and thus help us to be less affected by all the suffering in the world today. But what if we did everything we could to position ourselves (mentally and physically) in a place that embodies most of our most important values? Wouldn't that be a fantastic, worth striving towards life?
For example, with an up-to-date personal values list, you can compare your most important values with the most important things in your life, perhaps figuring out why something felt so wrong for so long or why another thing felt just right. We could compare our values in the three worlds of “work/career/what we do,” “personal (you outside of your work world),” and “friends/family (close people around you).” A fourth could also be “living situation”.
Another option might be to compare your personal values list with your dream list to isolate the dreams that are closest to your most important values and therefore may be particularly worthwhile.
In either case, I suggest starting by putting together a list of your personal values and then perhaps prioritizing your top 6-12 and maybe even your top 3. I think it helps a lot to have a short list of top values. This helps us see who we are more clearly and can aid in decision making. Furthermore, having to judge every personal decision based on 20 or 30 values can become an impossible task, even more so when multiple people are involved in a decision, for example in a relationship, family, company or social environment.
For an easier start, you can either google ‘values list’ or just jump to one of those articles:

Here’s also a value list I’m working on for myself, within a broader personal context, just as one example (btw, my current top 3 seem to be health, joy, and self-actualization right now):

One more tip: when going through lists of values as a way to choose from: To arrive at true results (which I feel is so important) I found it helps to ask when you see a value embedded in a word: “Is this really me? Am I this, or does this just sound cool?” Of course we can add a couple “I-would-love-to-be-like-this-values” …just mark them as “possible-future-me”, or as goal values and hold them against future actions and behavior to see how well you do.
Important note to myself: Different people have different values. This oftentimes makes our world an interesting one, helps progressing, and gets us to new and different solutions. Diversity is what makes a system and humankind survive. This means while it might be fantastic for us to arrive at a lifestyle that really supports and embodies most of our personal values, it’s also important to accept there are others with a different set of values to ours. And none is right or wrong. A big task of being humans on this planet is to get along well, coexist, and do so not only in an accepting manner, but knowing that diversity is a source and maintaining force of life, helping us to prosper and thrive.
Good luck,
I hope you enjoy the music!
