Think back on when you were growing up. Do you think
you learned values from what the adults around you said
or from what they did
You can say you are a person who believes in good
values, but you must show this with your actions if it is
going to make a difference. The following exercise will
help you to understand if you are acting on your values.

At the end of each day, find a quiet place and think about your values
and your actions. Ask yourself these questions:

values Why What is stopping me acting on my values Think
about how you would change this tomorrow.

doing it How did that make you feel
