This is an exercise from the book called "Let's Move the Needle: An activism handbook for artists, crafters, creatives and makers" by Sannon Downey.

The goal is to try to materialize the space between my values and actions and bring those things closer together. I have to write ten traits for the following three categories, which I'll also have written in physical form to talk with my counselor about and to keep me accountable.

I'm posting it here to inspire others. The idea is to make new lists as we navigate life, report back to old lists, and see how things have changed.
