Assessing our values.  We want to ensure that the things we say and do align with our life values. This ensures that we can live more authentically and meaningful lives, a critical aspect to healthy wellbeing.  From the following values list (https://management30.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/big-value-list-management30.pdf), highlight the ten most important values to you.  From this top ten list, we then want to further refine this down to the top five values in our lives.  Then, number these from one to five from highest value to lowest. 

These are the values you want to live by - the extremely important framework that govern your actions in the world.  This is a cognitively demanding task, and will require your upmost attention.
