Values
Your Values are what is important to you in life.They are the blue print of who you are! Knowing your Values helps you understand what drives you – what you enjoy, inspires you and would like more of. By building a life and lifestyle around our values we create a life that is more satisfying and meaningful to us
Values change over time, and deepen as you understand yourself better – they are always moving. Your Values can also be situational – so what is true for you at work may not be true for you at home.
The Values ‘”List” below is ONLY to give you some ideas of example or sample values. We are each unique, so there will undoubtedly be words that are missing from this list, and different words that sum up your Value better.
Think about the various aspects of your life and ask your self what is really important to me about my work/ relationships/ health etc and try and come up with the 5 most important values to you in each of these areas. Then ask your self how does my current situation compare? What do I need to do to ensure my values are being met?
