Self-alignment discussion

​What do you think your values are and how could you be more aligned with them?

​→ relatedly, what do you want, and how could you get closer to it?

​I want to become more internally coherent! I often notice that I'm not doing what I would like to be doing; I've thought a lot about why, and I want to hear other people's thoughts.

​Goals:

• ​Increasing our self-knowledge: personal reflection + group discussion

• ​Take action on whatever we’ve learned! Make specific plans to act more in alignment with our values

• ​Collect media that has shaped people’s views on this topic? This post is what’s recently made the most impact on me: https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/ksatPnddyZjHwZWwG/mnestics

​I’d be happy to go for as long as we want.

​Structure I’m thinking right now:

• ​First ~half: alternating journaling and discussion on specific prompts (eg Hamming questions)

• ​Second ~half: take action! Make plans based on what we’ve learned, and implement structures that will make this easier. Or, come up with frameworks that we want to try on for the next little while.

​I want this to be as helpful as possible for everyone who comes, which means that I plan to make the particulars quite flexible (while providing a structure to work in).
