List of Values 


From Dare to Lead, by Brene Brown, this list of values is incredibly helpful when thinking about your values - what’s most important to you.

When I reflect on my values, (because even if one or two stay at the top of your list your whole life, there will be many more that go up and down your list throughout your life) I will write the letter ‘V’ next to the values that are very important to me, an ‘I’ next to the values that are important to me, and an ‘S’ next to the values that are somewhat important to me. Then you can refine from there.

It’s good to think about all of these values and what they mean to you and your life but I like to identify my top 10, then narrow it down to my top 5, then narrow it down to my top 3.

This is a list I refer back to often, because like our environment, we shift and change and transform and grow. So should what we value. To some degree you might value all of these things - the goal is to identify what’s most important to you and why.
