Values
Values are guiding principles that give life meaning and direction. Working with values forms a core aspect of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT).
Values
Values reflect what really matters to you. They describe the way you want to live, how you want to spend your time, and what you want your life to stand for. Values are important because they are where you can find satisfaction and purpose. Being in touch with them can help you thrive and flourish.
Sometimes, when you’re struggling in life, you might drift away from your values. Taking time to reconnect with what really matters to you can be a guiding light, especially in times of difficulty. Values can help you make choices and move in the direction you want your life to go.
This exercise is designed to introduce you to the concept of values, and to help you to get in touch with what matters to you.
