Homework Post 3: Values and Goals

Skill Practice Reflection: Think about the values and goals you identified during the 100th birthday visualization and the values you clarified in quiz section this past week. Use the values and goals to help you think of a WOOP you’d like to work on this week. Write a 1 page reflection responding to the following prompts (1 pages double spaced).

· Complete a WOOP for a goal you have based on the following four prompts. Remember to include all four parts of the WOOP, putting particular focus on naming an internal obstacle and an if/then statement for your plan.

· Wish: What is something that you wish for your future based on the values and goals you have identified? This wish can be longer term, but make sure to then also identify something for within the next 4 weeks.

· Outcome: What would a specific outcome be if you were to live out the above wish?

· Obstacle: What is an obstacle that keeps you from living in line with your values? Name at least one internal barrier and one external barrier.

· Plan: What is your plan for overcoming these obstacles and barriers to live in line with your values? Make sure to include an if/then statement (i.e. If you face "obstacle x", then you will do ...) and then expand on how you will ensure you stick with that plan. Be specific!

Class Activity Reflection: Reflect on your values clarification practice during the end of class activity this week and complete the following extension activity (see bullseye activity document). Your response for this section should be about 1 page double spaced.

· Write a half page reflection on the values clarification activity you completed in class. What was challenging about this process? What was beneficial? How are your values you identified influenced by your family or cultural values? Look to the attached activity guide and respond to some of the questions you discussed with your group. This response should be a half page.

· Extension Activity (Bullseye Activity): The Bullseye Activity will help you look at how you feel you are living up to these values in different areas of your life. Use the Bull's Eye Exercise Preview the document to practice clarifying values, estimate the extent to which you are living consistent with your values, and commit to engaging in at least four values-based actions during the coming week. Download the activity and go through it on your own. Complete the assignment and then include a half page summary of what you found during the activity in your post. Do not upload your actual bull's eye.

Gratitude Practice: Write a half a page about something that happened or something you accomplished this week that you are grateful for.

Lecture + Reading Reflection: Reflect on the previous lecture and the assigned readings for next week and the associated videos. Respond to the following prompts in a half page.

· What is one thing that resonated with you class on Wednesday, particularly from the lecture material? What do you still have questions about (if anything)?

· Identify one way you can see the content in the readings helping you going forward.

Please review the Model Homework Post from the first assignment as an example of what we are looking for!

GRADING STANDARDS

Your post is worth a possible 10 points. To receive the full 10 points for this post, you must respond to all four sections of reflection and address all prompts fully, totaling around 3-4 double-spaced pages. Be honest; part of the goal of these posts is to have an opportunity to receive feedback and support from the TAs, who have experience with using these skills and coaching on the use of them. Your grade is NOT based on how “well” you used the skills, but rather on how much we can see you reflected on the skills/content and have thought about how it applies to your life. Incomplete or late responses will be docked points.
