  2. Values Clarification, Made Practical
    Values clarification is the work of naming what matters most to you, sorting the genuine priorities from the inherited ones, and using them to guide real choices. The methods — card sorts, ranking, value-consistent action — draw heavily on values work in acceptance-and-commitment therapy (ACT), which has clinical support; living in line with your values correlates with wellbeing in observational research.
  3. Values Card Sort
    A values card sort is a structured exercise — originally developed in motivational interviewing — that forces you to rank competing values by choosing between them rather than claiming you hold all of them equally. The comparison process surfaces implicit priorities that self-report alone misses. Evidence for values-clarification as a lever for behavior change is observational to clinical; the specific card-sort format has good face validity but limited direct trial data.
  4. Thought records
    A structured worksheet that captures situation, thought, emotion, evidence, and a balanced response.
    Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Made Practical
  5. Values clarification
    Name the directions you want your life to move in, distinct from goals you can check off.
    Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Made Practical
  6. Landscape of Identity and Action Questions
    Use two question types to map both what the person DID (action) and what that reveals about who they ARE (identity).

  7. Use Socratic questions to examine stuck points
    Challenge stuck points with specific questions that examine the evidence rather than argue against the belief.

  8. Rate your current position in each domain
    Mark on each domain’s bullseye how closely your recent behavior has matched the value — honestly.
