2
3## Overview
4
5The "Crafting Your Values" exercise is designed to help you identify and refine what truly matters in your life. It guides you through a process of sorting, narrowing down, and articulating your core values. The exercise consists of four main parts and includes a comprehensive list of value cards.
6
7## Part 1: So What's Actually Important to You (and What Isn't)
8
9- **Objective:**
10 Begin by categorizing all provided values based on their personal significance.
11
12- **Setup:**
13
14 - Use a set of value cards (printed or digital).
15 - Prepare three columns titled:
16 - **"Very important to me"**
17 - **"Important to me"**
18 - **"Not important to me"**
19
20- **Instructions:**
21 - Place each value card into one of the three columns based on your immediate, gut reaction.
22 - Do not overthink the placement; trust your feelings.
23 - Review and adjust the placements until the columns accurately represent your priorities.
24
25## Part 2: Narrowing Down
26
27- **Objective:**
28 Refine the selection by focusing on values that you initially rated as "Very important to me."
29
30- **Instructions:**
31
32 - Set aside the values in the "Not important to me" and "Important to me" columns.
33 - Re-create three columns using only the values from the previous **"Very important to me"** category:
34 - **"Very important to me"**
35 - **"Important to me"**
36 - **"Not important to me"**
37 - Sort the remaining values again, comparing their relative importance.
38 - Adjust the order until you feel that the columns accurately reflect your priorities.
39
40- **Outcome:**
41 - If you end up with 5 or fewer values in the **"Very important to me"** column, you may skip the next step.
42 - Otherwise, proceed to Part 3 for further refinement.
43
44## Part 3: The Most Important Stuff
45
46- **Objective:**
47 Identify your top core values from the refined list.
48
49- **Instructions:**
50
51 - From the values sorted in Part 2, create two new columns:
52 - **"Very important to me"** (suggested label: **"F\*CK YEAH"** – your must-haves)
53 - **"Also something I want in my life"** (suggested label: **"THIS IS AWESOME TOO"**)
54 - **Rule:** The **"F\*CK YEAH"** column can contain a maximum of **5 values**.
55 - Finalize the selection by ensuring that only 5 values occupy the **"F\*CK YEAH"** column.
56
57- **Additional Task:**
58 - For each of your 5 core values, write a personalized statement in the following format:
59 - _I want [description of your core value]_

69 - **Personal Values**

71 - **Very Important To Me**
72 - **Not Important To Me**
