That's an easy thing to say if you reduce "values" to lowest common denominator ethical abstractions that are pretty much shared among all human beings.
If you include e.g. "not wearing shoes in the house", "treating animals well", "Buddhist supremacy", or "proper lawn care" as values, however, things diverge quickly.
Half of your examples pertain to habits rather than values.
Whether something is a value or not is itself subjective. It might be a habit to you while also being a value to some community.
Habits and values go hand in hand. You make habit, what you value. If not, then you didn't value it much...
