Before you decide where you're going, it's worth remembering what truly grounds you.

Your values influence every part of your life; from the relationships you build to the work you pursue, the boundaries you set, and the choices you make every day. Yet many of us have never taken the time to intentionally discover where those values came from or whether we're actually living in alignment with them.

Revealing My Roots is a guided core values discovery worksheet designed to help you uncover the experiences, people, and defining moments that shaped the person you are today. Through thoughtful reflection, you'll move beyond simply choosing values from a list and begin understanding the stories behind them.

By recognizing the patterns that have influenced your beliefs, you'll identify the values that genuinely belong to you, evaluate how aligned your life feels today, and choose one value you want to intentionally reconnect with moving forward.

The worksheet guides you through three stages:

Recall

• Reflect on the people who shaped you

• Revisit meaningful life experiences and defining moments

• Explore memories that continue to influence your perspective

Recognize the Patterns

• Identify recurring themes across your experiences

• Discover the beliefs and values that emerged from those moments

• Understand what has quietly guided your decisions throughout your life

Reconnect

• Define your five core values

• Reflect on which values feel deeply present in your life today

• Identify which values have been neglected or overshadowed

• Create a simple plan to reconnect with the value you want to honor most

Perfect for:

• Discovering your core values

• Life transitions and personal growth

• Building greater self-awareness

• Making values-based decisions

• Finding clarity and purpose

• Anyone looking to live with more intention and authenticity

The strongest roots aren't always the ones we're born with. They're the ones we choose to keep nurturing.
