Values Exercises
Values Exercise 1: My ten most important values are 1) Purpose, 2) Hope, 3) Caring, 4) Contribution, 5) compassion, 6) Forgiveness, 7)Inner Peace, 8) Knowledge, 9) Achievement, and 10)Fitness. I think that my top ten values are accurate and I feel that they reflect what is most important to me. The value of creativity was hard to let go of because this value was also super important to me. I had the most difficulty ranking contribution, forgiveness, and compassion because they are all equal in importance to me. These values are very much present in my daily life.

I am surprised that learning Russian was not at the end of the list and was super surprised that playing basketball and playing volleyball were the last two on the list. I wouldn’t want to change anything. I just learned that some of my hobbies that I ranked to be first on my top ten list aren’t ranked as high or low as I thought they would be
