Tried this in therapy today --give it a try! It's a actually pretty difficult. I've included a link to a set of cards which includes definitions of each of the possible values. You can also print out the cards and sort them, if you're into that kind of thing.
You can only pick ten (10). Which of them are most important to you in your life? And what do you need to feel fulfilled as a human being? (If you're a writer, feel free to try these for your characters --what do they want? Try it in preparation for NaNoWriMo!)

ReplyDeleteI believe I chose acceptance, self-acceptance, creativity, simplicity, compassion, friendship, purpose, humor, genuineness, and growth (in no particular order). What were yours?
DeleteGod's will. Forgiveness. Compassion. Loving. Generosity. Humility. Hope. Honesty. Service. Helpfulness.
ReplyDeleteThis is a good exercise. These are the ones I want to be most important in my life. My living by them is shaky at best.
