The Scrapbook Project: 2. If I don’t value my values, who will?

30 minutes.

At Work I Value:

Personally I Value:

Paste (or write) the At work I value heading at the top of page 2 of your scrapbook. (The left hand page.) Paste (or write) the Personally I value heading at the top of page 3 of your scrapbook. (The right hand facing page.)

1. Take a crayon. Under “At Work” list at least four things you value at work. Under personally, list at least four things you value personally. These may be the same or different.
2. Using a different colour crayon, draw a line across both pages, about two thirds of the way down.
3. Above the line under At work, stick or draw one or two pictures which illustrate how you feel when your work values are all being met.
4. Above the line under Personally, stick or draw one or two pictures which illustrate how you feel when your personal values are all being met.
5. Below the line under At work, stick or draw a picture which illustrates how you feel when your work values are not met.
6. Below the line under Personally, stick or draw a picture which illustrates how you feel when your personal values are not met.
7. Think about the differences between your feelings when your values are not met at work, compared to how you feel when your personal values are not met.
8. Turn over the page. Draw a line down the middle of the page. Make a heading on the top left: Work and on the top right: Personal.
9. Under Work, list the feelings you have when your Work Values are not met. Put 1 feeling per line.
10. In the Personal column, write the feelings you have when your Personal values are not met. If these are similar to the work feelings, match them on the same lines eg Irritated would match Angry, Unhappy might match Unhappy. If they have no match, write them on lines of their own.
11. Take a different colour crayon. Draw a circle around the strongest feeling you have when your Personal values are not being met. Then draw a circle around the strongest feeling you have when your work values are not met.
12. Consider the words you circled. Write a sentence at the bottom of the page: When my values aren’t met I feel... The word you use may be one of the ones you circled, or it may be another word which more completely reflects your feelings when your values are not met.
