Welcome
Hello and welcome to this values clarification course. Values work is something that I am passionate about and I believe it can provide a strong foundation to help us live our lives more meaningfully in the present, while also providing a framework from which to make plans and goals for the future. These future goals will then hopefully allow us to continue living in a way that is personally meaningful.
I have taken the majority of these exercises and lessons from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - an evidence-based field that has a strong preference for working with values, as well as other related literature, such as that published by Professor Michael F. Steger, Jenna LeJuene and Jason B. Luoma.
I fully endorse this method, as I personally use this same process to clarify my own values and inform my actions and behaviours in the present, and in the goals I set for the future.
Course aims
In this course we will:
- Clarify 5 - 10 values - ways of living that we feel are the most personally meaningful
- Understand how our values influence our thoughts, behaviours and goals
- Highlight what values we are currently living the most and least
- Cultivate a life of greater meaning and purpose, both immediately and long into the future
- Create a Life Mission Statement and start delivering on it
