Acting according to our values gives life purpose and direction, but it’s easy to get sidetracked by less important things.
My North Star worksheet offers a simple way to reconnect with what matters most. Clients come up with a value (family, health, creativity, etc.) and then identify three small actions they can take in this direction. The completed worksheet serves as a map to stay on course between sessions.

Some clients may need help with identifying actions that are concrete, within their control, and doable over the short term. Emphasize the power of small, consistent behaviors over vague ambitions.
