Lifestyle Values
You may or may not realize this, but you are in charge of your life. You get to decide how to spend your days and nights every day. It’s YOUR choice!
If you were given the opportunity to create your most desired lifestyle, what qualities would you focus on the most? The Lifestyle Values activity will have you define your most important lifestyle values, those things that matter most in terms of your lifestyle. What lifestyle attributes matter most? How do you want to spend your time – at work and at home? What specific elements of your lifestyle will be most important for you, when you take into consideration such things as work, education, faith, health, possessions, money, and pursuits? What kind of experiences do you want to have? What REALLY matters to you, especially when you think about your life and your future?
Use the list below to identify those Lifestyle Values most important to you. To start, choose as many lifestyle values as you desire. Once you identify your list, narrow down your list to those lifestyle values you find most important/desirable; choose between FIVE (5) to SEVEN (7) Lifestyle Values that are and/or will be most important. Make sure the ones you choose are those that you believe will dictate the lifestyle you want to have every day. Your Lifestyle Values may also reflect your self-concept – how you see yourself and how you want others see you. They DO NOT have to be ranked, but feel free to rank them if you desire. (Note: If there’s a Lifestyle Value that’s important to you but not on the list, make sure to include it on your list.)

After reviewing the list, write down FIVE (5) to SEVEN (7) Lifestyle Values that are important to you, especially as you think about you want to spend your time, both at home and at work. They don’t have to be rank-ordered, nor do you need descriptions.
Have fun!
