Amazing. I started journaling about mine after reading yours. Very hard to narrow down. These lists really resonate with me and I’m making a hard decision this week and your explanation of how to use your values really helps. I want to add paradox / duality to mine except it honestly ends up feeling confusing when it comes to making a decision rooted in values 😂

At some point we talked about what questions you asked yourself to get your list of values — do you remember? I know it’s probably not that linear, but because I am also trying to remember how to think for myself I wanna ask myself Qs rather than adapt someone else’s hfjdkdmksienfndje. Kk thanks

Hahahahahaha. So actually my values themselves were inspired by a values exercise I did like last year. Tres corporate but I find this model to be helpful. But in a more intuitive way, I sort of just think of keywords I use a lot in my writing, and think of the core concept that represents what I’m writing about. It’s kinda like qualitative, line by line analysis for my own self lmao? Then see what sparks joy.

Here’s the corporate values exercise:
