Go through the list of values on the next page, circle all the ones that stick out to you. If you feel a concept is missing, write it in then circle it. Circle at least 10 words.

Now, narrow down those 10+ concepts to 5 top values.

Now, narrow down to 3 top values. Could you narrow down to two?

In the Values Discussion forum, discuss what your top 2 or 3 values ended up being:

  1. Why do you think you value these things? What parts of your past experiences or upbringing has lead you to value these 2 or 3 concepts most?
  2. Would your top 2 or 3 values be different if you did this activity last year? How? Why?
  3. In what ways do you see these values manifest in your daily life? What actions do you take that express these values? How do you allocate your time or energy in a way that prioritizes these things?

What/Who has shaped you and your values?   Have there been any specific events that has changed your thinking?
