How to keep your Values and Purpose at Work?

Your values in life help you navigate through career choices, partner choices, and overall, how you spend your days and how you behave. Furthermore, values help you establish a sense of purpose and direction for your personal brand. Values act as guides that drive your choices in your life based on what you want to be known for. Your core values at work and personal brand (how you show them) will speak loudly without you even saying a word.

They are the core principles that give meaning to your life and are defined as a set of standards that determine your attitudes, choices, and actions. Values change as you change; they reflect what’s important to you at any given moment. It’s not always easy to identify the values that mean the most to you, but it warrants serious reflection so that you can pay more focused attention to what really matters in life. Look at your weekly schedule on your computer, phone or diary. If you value health and put it at the top of your list but you work 70 hours a week, then you need to make some serious changes to align yourself with this value. Very often we do the wrong assumption that values will not change upon the time. But what we have to consider is what happens in our brain when we are aligned in terms of our values. It happens a little bit like a stock exchange and it's almost like a currency reward system that is automatically put in place where the dopamine reward in the values that you are displaying in that are aligned with yourself. So it's super important to understand that when you know your your values, you know the exchange rate of this currency dopamine if I do this, I would receive so much of a rush of this molecule of pleasure called dopamine. But imagine that you don't know your values for the funny thing is that you you feel cheated? All the time. You feel unsatisfied because you don't know if you receive enough or not enough reward for this plane, the good behaviors that are aligned with your with your values. Another thing that is super important is that when we are talking about about values, we need to consider that the context of the situations may change or shaped your values.

A few ways branding yourselves helps you in your daily lives are:

1. It Helps You Stand out from the Crowd.

2. It Leads to Opportunities.

3. It Inspires Trust in Your Audience.

4. It helps you Build Relationships.
