What matters to you this week? (Weekly thread)
Hey everyone! Borrowing from Dr. Okafor's values work – I thought we could start a weekly thread where we each name one thing that matters to us this week and one small action we'll take toward it. Doesn't have to be big. Mine: connection matters to me, so I'm going to text my sister today. That's it. What about you?

Love this idea! Creativity matters to me this week. My one small action: I'm going to sit with my watercolours for fifteen minutes on Saturday. Not to make anything good, just to make anything at all.
This is an excellent application of values-based behavioural activation. By naming the value first and then connecting a specific, achievable action to it, you are creating a bridge between abstract meaning and concrete behaviour. I would encourage this thread to become a regular feature of this community.
What a thoughtful thread. Mine would be learning – I want to read one chapter of a book I've been avoiding because concentration has been difficult. Not the whole book. One chapter.
