The Alignment Compass: Aligning Values and Daily Actions for Personal Clarity
This worksheet helps you explore where your stated values align—or misalign—with your daily choices. By naming what matters most to you and comparing it to how you spend your time and energy, you gain clarity on what needs to shift. Over time, aligning your behaviors with your values increases confidence, reduces inner conflict, and supports a more grounded and purposeful life.
How to Use This Worksheet
Start by writing down three core values—principles you want to live by. Then map how you currently spend your time and energy. Compare the two, noticing gaps between what you say is important and how you show up. Use the prompts to identify small adjustments that bring your actions into better alignment. Anchor the shift with a phrase that reinforces your commitment to living your values.
Who It’s For
This worksheet is for anyone who feels out of alignment, overwhelmed, or disconnected from what truly matters. It is especially helpful for individuals experiencing burnout, decision fatigue, lack of direction, or frustration with their current habits. Coaches and therapists can also use this tool to help clients move toward more intentional living.
Expected Outcomes
• Clearer understanding of your core values
• Insight into where your energy and actions fall out of alignment
• Greater sense of purpose and grounded direction
• Increased confidence through value-based decision-making
• Small, actionable shifts that improve daily well-being
