Step 1 · Choose your 20 most important values
Values are the principles and qualities that give your life meaning. Take your time with this exercise. Take it slow. Think and feel your way through these steps. If you feel rushed to complete this, take a break and come back to this. There are no right answers, just do your best to pick the values that feel true to you.
Your core values
These are the values you identified as most central to who you are and how you want to live. Consider: where in your life right now are you honoring these? Where is there a gap?
