In a world of constant doing and going, taking a pause can prove to be rather challenging. In this episode of the Inner Outer World Podcast, Raye taps into his own core values (as discussed in Episode 10) to recognize when taking a pause is needed. Recognizing that core values serve as an inner compass to navigate our outer worlds, Raye walks the walk, embraces his own words, and seeks to model what those words really mean to him.

As school, work, and other obligations pile up, finding rest becomes more and more important for us to show up fully, be present, and contribute our best work. Mental rest is one of 7 types of rest as described in a Ted Talk and article. In this episode, Raye shares his experimentation with finding mental rest this past week and some practical ways that he's discovered to do so.

How would you respond if someone asked you what are your values or what do you value? In this episode, we’ll dive into exactly that as we explore the benefit of knowing our core values, and how in doing so, we create an inner compass that allows us to navigate our outer lives, whether in making big life and career decisions, in relationships, or any other aspects of our lives. Raye offers a simple values exercise that we can practice to find and live out our core values in our lives.
