Working out your values?
What matters to you? Do you know what your values are? Are you living those values? Who are the important people in your
life … how do you treat them? Do you like yourself? What would you change?

Workshop session
Take 5 minutes to write down: What are your values? What are you passionate about? Do you ‘live’ your values or your passion? What would you change – your values or
your behaviour? If you changed something, what would
happen?

Putting it into Action
There is nothing wrong with you Make the decision Set deadlines Tell those who’ll support you… stay away
from negative people Involve your family (but see point above) Be brave

Closing thought…
• Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting "holy batman...what a great ride"!! – Shannah Kennedy
