In this episode of the Anti Optimist Therapist Podcast, I explore the power of committed action and values-driven choices in everyday life. I share personal stories about reading to my daughter and my own challenges with maintaining commitments like exercising. I emphasize the importance of doing what matters because it matters, without seeking external validation or measurable results. I discuss the concept of acting in line with one's values and share examples from historical and contemporary figures who embody this principle. Listeners are encouraged to make small, meaningful choices that align with their values, fostering a life of authenticity and fulfillment.00:00 Introduction to the Anti Optimist Therapist Podcast00:23 The Bedtime Story Dilemma01:29 The Importance of Committed Action01:41 Struggles with Consistency and Self-Trust02:27 Intrinsic Motivation and Personal Values03:39 The Joy of Reading05:22 Historical Figures and Their Unique Rituals07:05 Challenge Yourself with Small Actions07:36 Final Thoughts on Values and Commitment08:01 Conclusion and Program Information
