About This Exercise
Crafting Your Values is a reflective exercise designed to help you discover what truly matters in your life. By sorting through a collection of values, you'll uncover your core priorities—the things that guide your decisions, shape your relationships, and define who you want to be.
To get the most out of this exercise, approach it with honesty and intuition. Don't overthink—trust your gut reactions. There are no right or wrong answers, only your answers.
How It Works
Initial Sort — Go through each value and sort it into one of three categories: Very Important, Important, or Not Important to you.
Refine — Take your "Very Important" values and sort them again. Which ones rise to the top?
Core Values — Narrow down your top 5 "F*CK YEAH" values—the ones you absolutely need in your life.
Reflect — Write a personal statement for each core value. What does it mean to you? How do you want to live it?
Review — See your complete values portrait and take it with you.
