Know Your Values - The Rebel Buddhist Manifesto

<p>Ever have moments where this realization just hits you like a runaway train? “Oh shit, I am not living in alignment with my values right now. How did I end up here?”</p><p>Yeah. I hear you. I’ve been there. And it can be a pretty stop-you-in-your-tracks, flip-your-world-upside-down kinda moment. Because then the second realization comes: “I’m so fucking unhappy. It’s gonna take so much work to change this.” Then maybe: “I’m not sure I’m up to the task.”</p><p>If this is you, I’ve got you! I’m with you! And I have some things to share with you that I think really might help you on this journey.</p><p>This episode is all about an UH-MAZING little document – called the Rebel Buddhist™ Manifesto – that I created years back as a manifesto for Freedom Junkies and has evolved into its current iteration for all you rebel buddhas out there.</p><p>I dig into each of its 15 tenets and share some personal experiences that crystallize how I came to be clear about the values of my life, my business and this podcast.</p><p>I hope that by sharing this with you, it will inspire you to get really clear about yours too, because here’s the thing: <strong>when you get clear about your values, it’s a whole lot easier to be </strong><i><strong>happy</strong></i>.</p><p>When we are happy, it’s often because our <strong>external </strong>life is in alignment with our <strong>internal values</strong>.</p><p>When we are unhappy – anxious, unsettled...it’s because we sense our life is not in alignment with our values.</p><p>And that’s exactly what this manifesto is <i>for</i> – helping you get back in <strong>alignment </strong>with who you truly are. Each part serves as an offering of guidance on everything from learning to study our minds and practice FIERCE self-compassion, to cultivating radiant inner confidence and healthy boundaries from a kind place, to accepting the responsibility of our power to move society towards social justice and anti-racism.</p><p>If you can listen and sit with these offerings – pay attention to your opini
