Knowing your core values is essential to understanding what is most important to you, and then orienting your life around what matters most. Everyone has values, but most people never take time to clarify what they are. When you are not sure what your values are you can become confused and get off track to what is most important to you.
From the above list of values, choose your top 5 values. This is not to say that your other values are not important, only that these are your top 5.
Can you list why the values you chose are important to you?
Example:
Health is important to me because without it I cannot be the best I can be to myself and to others.
Value 1 is …………., it is important to me because………………………..
Value 2 is …………., it is important to me because………………………..
Value 3 is …………., it is important to me because………………………..
Value 4 is …………., it is important to me because………………………..
Value 5 is …………., it is important to me because………………………..
Look at your 5 top values - are they included in your every day decision making?
Can you now choose your number one value and know that you live your life by that value? |
