Say that you know how important it is to continue to learn and attend courses, but you just keep putting it off. You schedule it in your diary but time and time again you allow other things to take precedence. You start to get frustrated because you want to do it, but you're just not making the time. There is a simple explanation: you just don't value research and education enough. Now, let's do some linking. When you wrote out your values, you highlighted that your training, your clients and their results, and your relationship with your partner were the things that you had the highest value for.

These are the things that you can move to one side; Now, think about the things that you're not making time for but that you acknowledge are important - can you link them to your highest values?
