❣ EMOTIONS TO 🌳 VALUES

image

Step 1.1.) Recall a recent emotional situation

To begin with harvesting your own emotions, step back into your memory. Pick a situation you experienced in the past weeks that felt challenging and that stuck with you. This worksheet is most interesting to go through for a situation that brought up challenging emotions that are linked to the situation itself more than to previous trauma. Here are some questions to help you flesh out your memory.

Where were you? With whom? What happened? What emotions came up? How did they manifest in your body?

✍

Step 1.2.) Identify the emotion and its immediate cause

As you have identified different emotions that came up, decide on the one that was most clear and present. Think about the immediate cause of the emotion.

Write down your emotion and its immediate cause.

I felt ___________________ because____________________________________________________________.

✍

Step 1.3.) Explore the value behind the emotion through questions

Step 1.4.) Name your value

https://www.notion.so/humsys/Nathan-s-Example-EtoV-HS-and-SJ-incl-SF-4de8efef66fb498b81cd645000301e0a

Using the guiding questions connecting to the feeling you identified, try to articulate your value as a sentence.

When you articulate your value try to use one of these pre-fixes or a similar kind in your formulation.

🌳
approach things ___, treat people ___, act ___, keep things ___, live life ____ Systemically: look for ways that we can be of service together to create and sustain larger systems of impact Humility to admit you don't know and willingness to create together approach one another with the humility to admit that you don't know and a willingness to be of service in creating and sustaining larger systems of impact Open-mindedness to seek information from others before designing it solo, and to collaborate with other people Generative connection Ways we can address problems we care about together in a way we couldn't in isolation Systems designers to approach their own work in a collaborative way curiosity Share information, resources, and experiences to feel less alone and leverage each others' past work and potential Interconnected: Attack a sense of isolation that leaders feel by exposing the interconnected nature of their work, and the way they can leverage each others' perceptions, values, and resources Look for who else has done it first, open-source sharing of information and platforms - Could you tell someone else this value, like if you were directing them in a play, and they'd know how to act? - Would you still do it if nobody was looking? - Would you still do it if you couldn't affect the outcome and you didn't gain anything from holding that value? - Do you feel inspired when you think about doing or being this?

Struggling to articulate the value?

Step 1.5.) Clarify your value

To make sure that your value isn't polluted with norms, goals, fears, etc. answer the questions below. Note that your value might already be on spot, in which case you don't need to that.

  • Would it still be worth doing independent of the outcome? If so, continue to the next bullet point. If not, it's a goal or fear! Take notes below.

    • "How would I want to approach things/treat people/etc. if I couldn't affect the outcome?"

    📉
  • Would it still be worth doing if no one knew you did it? If so, continue to the next question. If not, it's a social norm. Take notes below.

    • "How would I want to approach things/treat people/etc. if no one noticed?"

    🦇
  • Do you believe you could still be a good person even if you failed to be this way? If so, continue to the next question. If not, it's an internalized social norm. Take notes below.

    • "How would I want to approach things/treat people/etc. if there were no rules?"

    🚷
  • Would it still be worth being this way if no one else ever joined in? If so, (after all the questions above) it's probably a value! If not, it’s an ideological commitment. Take notes below.

    • "How would I want to approach things/treat people/etc. if I couldn't influence anyone?

👣HARD STEPS

approach one another with the humility to admit that you don't know and a willingness to be of service in creating and sustaining larger systems of impact

Step 2.1.) Come up with potential Hard Steps

‣
To generate potential hard steps, ask yourself some of these questions:

Allow yourself to come up with many potential hard steps. You'll have time to select and refine later. In this stage, you can also list things you need, states you need to get to, social skills, sequences of actions you need to do, norms, goals, and limiting beliefs to overcome. You can turn them into hard steps one by one.

Step 2.2.) Screen and Pick

Look at the list of checked items and go through the list of potential hard steps one by one.

Which three potential hard steps seem essential and hardest in living by this value? Run through the next step with those three.

🎸SPACE JAM

Space Jamming is a chance to create small games for people to practice living by their values. We want to support the value, but make sure not to jump over the hard steps. Space jams should be practice spaces to help us live by our values in everyday life.

Step 4.1.) Frame the game

A 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 social skill or situation

A social skill that is being practiced through living the value and the situation it takes place in (e.g. giving feedback at a work meeting, listening to my friends at a bar).

Step 4.2.) (Simple) Instructions

Start with this, then do this, then this.
