What are Core Values?
“VALUES” are things that are important to us. "CORE VALUES" are ways of being that guide our actions and decision. Everyone has different values, and for each of us they can change over time, based on our experiences. Core values are like a compass, pointing us in the direction we want to go and guiding our every move.
One way we can figure out our CORE VALUES is by looking at our feelings and reactions. If someone has a STRONG EMOTIONAL REACTION to something, that tells us that the situation tapped into an important belief about how things should be or what is important to them.
