Identifying Core Values

Identifying your core values involves narrowing down a list of good things to do to the few that are genuinely at the core of who you are. Aim to identify around 10-12 values, from which themes may emerge, ultimately focusing on just three core values.

Testing Your Values

You can clarify your values by imagining how you'd react when someone violates one of them. Strong emotional reactions, like fury, can indicate a deeply held value.

Values in Competition

Clarify your values by putting them in direct competition with each other, such as deciding whether creativity or generosity is more important to you.

Importance of Authenticity

Authenticity involves embracing who you truly are, even if it differs from idealized versions. Trying to be someone you're not can lead to dissatisfaction and a life not fully lived.
