P.S. Younger Self

Living by Your Standards: How to Clarify Your Values and Act on Them

Chris Oh Episode 114

Are you living by your own values—or by the expectations of others?

In this episode of P.S. Younger Self, host Chris Oh guides you through how to uncover your true values and why they’re the foundation setting your personal standards that dictate the quality of life you create that feels authentic, fulfilling, and aligned. You’ll learn:

✅ How to identify your core values—the intrinsic principles shaping your decisions, actions and ultimately your personal standards.
✅ Why living by external expectations (from society, family, or friends) can disconnect you from your true self. 
✅ How to turn your values into actionable, non-negotiable standards that dictate the quality of life you create. 

Chris also shares two powerful exercises—the Values Audit and the Conditioning Test—that help uncover your core values by distinguishing them from conditioned beliefs. These tools provide clarity on what genuinely matters to you, shaping the personal standards that guide your life. Plus, we’ll explore the 3 C’s—what they mean and how they transform your values from abstract ideals into actionable standards you live by every day.

If you’re ready to stop second-guessing yourself, set stronger boundaries, and design a life designed around your standards, this episode is for you.
