Listen "The Cost of No Standards, Weak Values, & Blurred Boundaries"
Episode Synopsis
Standards, values and boundaries on their own, are just ideas. They don’t define you—your actions do. Saying you value discipline, honesty, or respect is meaningless unless you have the structure to back it up. That structure comes from principles, standards, and boundaries. Principles are the internal rules that guide your decisions, especially when motivation fades or external pressure builds. Standards are the actions that prove your values in real life, holding you accountable to what you claim to stand for. Boundaries protect those standards, ensuring that distractions, people, or excuses don’t pull you off course. Take discipline as an example. If you say you value discipline, then your principle might be: “I do what needs to be done, no matter how I feel.” Your standard would be showing up, training, working, and executing, even when you’re tired or uninspired. Your boundary would be refusing to let external distractions—social events, late nights, negativity—interfere with your set priorities. Most people claim to have values, but their actions tell a different story. The real question is: Are you proving yours? Phenyx Fit Kate Hastings Podcast @coachkate1 Mental Health Coach
