In addition to the physical act of getting back to work, another powerful way to maintain drive from within lies in your psyche; in particular, internalizing the mastery mind-set as a core value. Core values are guiding principles that help dictate your behaviors. They serve as unwavering guides, influencing how you think, feel, and act. Core values are not just beliefs you pay lip service to but those that you truly strive to embody. Research shows that reflecting on your core values helps to ensure that you live in accordance with them.
