An Exercise for Those in Occupational Despair
Notes from today's class:
Personal meaning affects our behaviors, thoughts, and feelings. In this sense, "meaning" is a sense of purpose, or the underlying REASON of our existence.
Values reflect our main priorities in life - they include our beliefs (cognitive determinations of truth) and our morals (emotional feelings of right/wrong). Our decisions and behaviors are based upon our core values; therefore, it is important to explore/discover/determine them. A good person-environment (or occupational) fit is dependent upon the extent that one's values are congruent with the values of the occupational environment.
What are your CORE VALUES?
