Values cards are a gentle, flexible tool to help you reconnect with what matters most to you. Rather than telling you what you should do, they invite you to explore the kind of person you want to be, especially in moments that feel uncertain, overwhelming, or stuck.

You can use values cards in whatever way feels most supportive:

• Choose one card that stands out and reflect on why it resonates

• Use a card as a daily anchor or intention

• Explore how a value shows up in your relationships, work, or self-talk

• Identify small, realistic ways to live that value in your everyday life

There is no right or wrong way to use them. You don’t need to embody a value perfectly, it’s about direction, not performance. Even noticing a value, without acting on it, can be meaningful.

A gentle note

Values cards are designed as a self-reflection and skill-building tool. They are not a substitute for therapy, clinical assessment, or personalised mental health support.

If you are experiencing significant distress, ongoing mental health concerns, or would like deeper support in exploring your values, working with a qualified mental health professional may be helpful.
