Momentum Muse: What behaviors support your values? (#48)
My values are met when....
We identified our top 3 values and explored what they mean to us. This week, let’s look at the behaviors that support (and don’t support) our values.
But first, let’s start with where you are right now.
Remember, there is no need to complete all questions. Be gentle, check in, and stop any time.
The plan:
Waypoint: want went well last week, what didn’t, and what ideas do you want to take forward? (5-10 minutes)
Pathfinder: intentions, priorities, GROW, and PINCH (15-20 minutes)
Quest: deeper reflection (up to 30 minutes)
Momentum Muse Co-Working Sessions:
Book your slot here: https://tidycal.com/hannakeiner/momentum-muse-body-doubling. We check in, work in parallel through the questions, then check out.
Let’s begin…
What went well last week?
What didn’t go so well?
What are your ideas for next week?
This can include things you want to try differently, or things that you want to continue doing because they’re working well. Once you have a list, select one or two items to commit to.
What are you particularly proud of handling well?
What are your top 3 priorities for this week? (the What)
tip: are you including time for creativity, play, and connections?
What are your intentions for this week? (the How)
Intentions could be: do less, focus, do one hard thing, be kind to myself, lower expectations at home to focus on work, connect with others, challenge myself, etc.
Optional Pathfinder A: Increase your chances of success by using the GROW model to get clear on your goal and next steps.
The GROW model includes four stages: Goal setting (G), an assessment of the current reality (R), an exploration of options (O), and identifying the way forward (W).
What is your goal?
What do you want? Complete this sentence: “I want to….”
What is important about this goal right now?
What does your reality look like?
How do you feel about this?
What internal resistance do you have to taking action?
What resources do you have?
What are your options?
What ideas do you have?
What has worked in the past?
Who could help you with this?
What will you do?
What is your first step?
What might happen to prevent you from taking this action?
What can you do to support yourself?
Optional Pathfinder B: PINCH (ADHD Motivators)
“PINCH” - Work with ADHD motivators. For your priorities, how can you use your interest-based nervous system to motivate you? Brainstorm some ideas to incorporate passion/play, interest, novelty, competition/cooperation/challenge, and hurry.
Passion and Play - How can I turn this into a game or make it fun?
Interest - How can I connect this to my interests?
Novelty - How can I infuse some novelty into this so it sparkles?
Competition / Cooperation / Challenge - How can I turn this into cooperation or a friendly competition (with myself or others)?
Hurry - How can I create a sense of urgency?
Quest: What behaviors support your values?
We reviewed the list of values here and identified our top 3. If you haven’t done that yet, start there. Today, we are exploring what behaviors support our values; and what behaviors don’t. You can choose to look at your own behaviors or also those of others.
Complete this sentence for each of your top 3 values:
My value [value] is met when…
You might be able to spot areas of conflict — when your own behavior or the behavior of others is outside of your values, it means your value isn’t met. That can lead to internal and external conflict.
Next week, we’ll look at where you are fully living into your values already and identify areas where your values could use a bit of extra support.
Until next week,
Hanna
