Values
Exploration
Values are the core principles and qualities that guide our
decisions, shape our priorities, and give life a sense of
meaning and direction. They reflect who we want to be and
what truly matters to us.
Certain prompts you can ask yourself to reflect on the values you
function on:
When do you feel most like yourself?
What daily behaviors would show the qualities you want to
stand for in life?
In what moments or habits do you feel most true to yourself?
What consistent actions would you like people to associate
with you or remember you for?
If practical barriers weren’t holding you back, what new
behaviors would you start practicing today?
Value Sorting Activity:
The below link has a comprehensive list of values, pick out the
ones that stand out, narrow it down to a handful you most relate
with, and reflect on why that particular value holds meaning for
you, why it is important for you.

Values in Action:
Take a moment and try to think of a value you feel is less aligned
in your life on a day-to-day basis, which you would like to
incorporate more often. The following activity would help you
mindfully include them.
Linking values to specific actions makes change more meaningful
and sustainable. When behaviors are rooted in what truly
matters to us, we’re more motivated to stick with them — even
when it feels difficult.
