I watched a YouTube video on depression that says there's a link between our values and how we spend our time. If we do an activity that matches a value then there is a high sense of satisfaction which leads to higher self esteem, confidence, and happiness. But if we are doing something that is really low on our value list, there is little satisfaction. For instance, one of my values is family and if I were to do a game night or go out for a date with my husband, I would feel very satisfied. But if I cleaned the house instead of doing those things, I wouldn't feel too happy. The video says it's all about prioritizing what we want in life and then pursuing those things with how we spend our time. It also said that too often we are spending the majority of our time on things we don't really value.

So I'm curious to hear, what are your top 5 values? Do you feel like the way you spend your time reflects these, and if so how happy are you?
