Values Clarification Exercise

Values change.What mattered at 25 may not matter now.

Clarity requires updating your internal compass.

You feel off — but you can’t name why.You’re productive, but unsettled.

Often, that’s a values misalignment.

• Success redefines priorities

• Seasons of life change

• External expectations override internal ones

• Old goals linger past their relevance

Unexamined values quietly steer decisions.

Step 1: List 10 qualities you admire in others.

Step 2: Narrow to 5 that feel most essential to how you want to live.

Step 3: Narrow to 3 that must be operational in your daily life.

For each top value, ask:

• How does this show up in my calendar?

• Where is this currently compromised?

• What would honoring this require?

Values are not ideas.They are behaviors.

Which decision in your life becomes easier when viewed through your top three values?
