Living by Your Values
For when your days are full but do not feel like yours. Each day asks you to notice what matters to you and take one small action in that direction, so your life lines up a little more with what you care about.

The first seven days
- Day 1Write down five words that describe the person you want to be.
- Day 2Pick one of your values and do one small thing today that expresses it.
- Day 3Think of a person you admire and write down which of their qualities you want more of.
- Day 4Notice one moment today when you acted in line with what you care about. Name the value.
- Day 5Write down one thing you spend time on that does not match your values, and one small change.
- Day 6Ask yourself: "If today were a chapter, what would I want it to be about?" Then live one page of it.
- Day 7Do something today for a cause, a person, or a place you care about.
Further into the year
The to-dos keep changing as the year goes on. A few from later in this theme:
- Day 30Look back over this challenge and write down the two or three values that came up most. Those are yours.
- Day 60Pick a value you hold about the environment and change one household habit today to match it.
- Day 120Ask a mentor or older colleague what values guided their best decisions, and write down one you want to borrow.
- Day 240Reflect on the kindest thing you did this week and identify the value it grew from.
- Day 365Close the year of this challenge by writing your values on a single card, and keep it where you will see it tomorrow morning.
How a challenge works
A Theraglee challenge is a theme with one small to-do for every day of a year. You choose how long yours runs, anywhere from a week to the full year, and each day you get the next to-do: something that takes a few minutes and fits inside an ordinary day. Tick it off when it is done. Nothing is scored and nothing is lost if you miss a day; the next to-do is simply waiting when you come back.
Challenges come with a free Theraglee account, which never asks for a card. Your progress stays private to you.
