Your values are the qualities you want to live by โ€” not goals you tick off, but the kind of person you want to be along the way. When daily life lines up with them, you feel grounded and content. When it drifts away from them, life can feel restless or hollow. This handout is grounded in Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), where goal-setting is guided by what you most deeply value.

Step 2

Tap up to six to star them as your core values.

Mark some values "Very important" above and they'll show up here.
Step 3

Point your values toward your life
