I share personal stories, including reading to my daughter despite fatigue and juggling numerous books for the pure joy of reading. I highlight the values of commitment, not for external validation, but for self-alignment and personal fulfillment. I encourage listeners to take small, meaningful actions today, driven by their own values and choices, regardless of external approval. I conclude with an invitation to my 12-week group program, The Fulfillment Formula, designed for high-achieving women seeking deeper meaning beyond anxiety and achievement.00:00 Introduction to the Anti Optimist Therapist Podcast00:23 The Bedtime Story Dilemma01:29 The Importance of Committed Action01:41 Struggles with Personal Commitments02:27 Intrinsic Motivation and Personal Values03:39 The Joy of Reading05:22 Historical Figures and Their Unique Rituals07:13 Challenge Yourself with Small Actions07:36 Final Thoughts on Values and Commitment08:01 Closing Remarks and Program Information
