Value Clarification Creates a Fulfilling Life
Discover What Values Are Really Important to You
What are Values?
-
Values are what gives your life meaning and relevance.
-
An inner framework of how you make choices.
-
Activities, preferences, and behaviors you are naturally drawn to. These are things you would naturally do.
-
You are pulled by them; they most excite you, and it is something you need in order to be your best.
Getting Started
- First, put a mark by all the values that resonate with you.
- Then go back and ask yourself without this value in my life, would I feel alive or could I thrive without it?
If the answer is “no I can’t thrive without it,” it’s a keeper! - Similar values may be linked, such as Autonomy with Freedom & spirituality with nature
- Pick your top 10 and rank them in order of importance to you (1 being top-10).
- Feel free to add values that are not listed below.
