This activity helps you see what you value based on your current actions. It may surprise you to learn that you value acceptance, for example. If you want to be more self-confident, you need to make a goal of changing your actions. In this course, you learn to doubt yourself less because you get a clear picture of who you are, and where you want to be.
The Basic Value of “Acceptance” motivates people to avoid criticism from others (GOAL), not commit suicide (SURVIVAL), and to VALUE the self. People who are habitually Closer to the psychological need for acceptance develop the personality traits of self-doubting. People who are habitually Further From-the psychological need for acceptance develop the personality traits of self-confidence
