Lesson 2 - Worksheet
Activity 1: Value Reflection
Deciding What's Most Important in Life

Defining Your Values
Article adapted from www.mindtools.com
When you define your personal values, you discover what's truly important to you. A good way of
starting to do this is to look back on your life – to identify when you felt really good, and really
confident that you were making good choices.
Follow the steps in this article to help you determine your values.
Step 1: Identify the times when you were happiest
Find examples from both school and personal life. This will ensure some balance in your answers.
What were you doing? Were you with other people? Who? What other factors contributed to your
happiness?
When I was with my friends and we play uno at one of their party’s
Step 2: Identify the times when you were most proud

Use examples from your school and personal life. Why were you proud? Did other people share your
pride? Who? What other factors contributed to your feelings of pride?
When I won a piano competition
Step 3: Identify the times when you were most fulfilled and satisfied
When was younger when I was eating one of my grandmother’s soups while it was raining outside.

Again, use both school and personal examples. What need or desire was fulfilled? How and why did
the experience give your life meaning? What other factors contributed to your feelings of
fulfilment?
Step 4: Determine your top values, based on your experiences of happiness, pride, and fulfilment.
Why is each experience truly important and memorable? Use the following list of common personal
values to help you get started – and aim for about 10 top values. (As you work through, you may
find that some of these naturally combine. For instance, if you value philanthropy, community, and
generosity, you might say that service to others is one of your top values.) Circle the 10 that you feel
strongly about.

Step 5: Prioritize your top values
This step is probably the most difficult, because you'll have to look deep inside yourself. It's also the
most important step, because, when making a decision, you'll have to choose between solutions
that may satisfy different values. This is when you must know which value is more important to you.
Write down your top values, not in any particular order.
Look at the first two values and ask yourself, "If I could satisfy only one of these, which would I
choose?" It might help to visualize a situation in which you would have to make that choice. For
example, if you compare the values of service and stability, imagine that you must decide whether
to sell your house and move to another country to do valuable foreign aid work, or keep your house
and volunteer to do charity work closer to home.
Keep working through the list, by comparing each value with each other value, until your list is in
the correct order. List your top 5 below:
Enjoyment Understanding Loyalty Justice
Fairness
Step 6: Reaffirm your values

Check your top-priority values, and make sure that they fit with your life and your vision for yourself.
Do these values make you feel good about yourself?
Are you proud of your top three values?
Would you be comfortable and proud to tell your values to people you respect and admire? Do
these values represent things you would support, even if your choice isn't popular, and it puts
you in the minority?
When you consider your values in decision making, you can be sure to keep your sense of integrity
and what you know is right, and approach decisions with confidence and clarity. You'll also know
that what you're doing is best for your current and future happiness and satisfaction.
Making value-based choices may not always be easy. However, making a choice that you know is
right is a lot less difficult in the long run.
Now that you know your values, take another look at the goals you wrote down in Lesson
1 – Worksheet. How will these values impact your choices?
Enjoyment is something that drives me into consistency, if I enjoy something I will consistently try to
refine it to the best of what I can. Loyalty is important to me as it determines who is worth keeping,
who is going to help you, and who will not backstab you. Justice is important as it provides everyone
with fairness, fairness is important as it gives a good way to minimise the backlash you may get from a
decision and reduces people. Which leads us into understanding, if everyone can come to an
understanding with eachother and accept the differences, we can all live in a better world.

Activity 2:
Rate your relationship with the following people at the moment:

1 - for awesome, 2 - ok, 3 - sometimes trouble and 4 - lots of arguments.
1) FAMILY - 2
2) FRIENDS - 2
3) PARENTS - 3
How does the opinion/ behaviour of others towards you impact your ability to feel happy?
I normally ask for advice and ask if they those around me think that a problem I have is valid and try
to ask multiple people for different views
