Once you are ready to pick your top 15 values from above, add them to the list you have going on paper, in any order:

11.____________________          12.________________

13.____________________          14.________________

15.____________________           

We are now going to narrow it down further and pick 10 that are most important to you. Even though they are all important, please narrow it down in any order.

1.____________________            2.________________

3.____________________            4.________________

5.____________________            6.________________

7.____________________            8.________________

9.____________________            10._______________

Lastly, we are ready to put them in order and narrow it down to what is most important to your soul. Write a sentence explaining why:

1._______________________ For me this means…

2._______________________ For me this means…

3._______________________ For me this means…

4._______________________ For me this means…

5._______________________ For me this means…

This exercise helps you figure out what is most important to you at this time. That being said these values will change over the course of your life as your journey expands to include new people and places. When you have a new relationship in your life, it's a good time to re-look at your values and find out their top 5. Not only does this bring clarity to what matters most, it can save you plenty of time trying to figure out why one person put family first and another puts their health. There is no right answers here, you will continue to change and grow forever.
