Discussion
1. Does your life right now reflect your values? Is the time you spend consistent with your priorities?
2. If the time you spend in your life right now does not reflect your personal values, how can you change
your life so that the time you spend is more in keeping with your values?
3. Are there some parts of your life that you would like to change but that you cannot right now? If so,
what is your timetable for bringing your lifestyle more into harmony with your values?
