In this solo episode I discuss success, and how we need to define what a successful life is for us. Society tells us so much about what a successful life should look like, and for most of us it just isn’t what we truly want. We can spend years striving for a definition of success that isn’t truly ours, and feeling like a failure in the process. This isn’t good for our health or happiness, and so it’s time to take a pause and reflect on what a successful life looks and feels like for you.

- The values exercise from the Being Boss book. Click on each word that resonates with you, then start to whittle it down to 3-5 core values.
- Another way to tap into your values is to start paying attention whenever you feel a strong emotion. Strong emotions are a good guide to what we feel strongly about. Once we notice these we may notice common things that make us feel strongly, these are likely our values.
- Next week’s guest on the podcast Dr Tom Micklewright has a great blog post on purpose, values and how to connect with these in our lives.
