To create your core values:

· Create a list of all of the characteristics and values that come to mind as important. You should have 15-20 but you could have fewer if you’re already pretty focused!
· Look through these characteristics and rank them from most important to least important.
· Take the top 5-10 and think about when each characteristic has appeared in your life and the difference it has made.
· Take the top 5-10 and think about when each characteristic has been lacking and the difference it has made.
· 3-5 will stand out as most important both when they appeared in your life and when they haven’t!
