V-SPAD-D-REWS™
An author-developed ten-dimension framework for reflecting on and designing life across: Values; Self; Purpose; Agency; Design; Discernment; Relationships; Environment; Wellbeing; and Stewardship. This section introduces the framework for reflection and learning; it is not a clinical or psychometric assessment.
Values — What matters most to you and the principles that guide your life.
Self — How you understand yourself, your identity, strengths and evolving sense of who you are.
Purpose — What gives your life direction, meaning and a sense of worthwhile contribution.
Agency — Your capacity to make choices, take action and influence the direction of your life.
Design — How intentionally you shape the structures, priorities and patterns of your life.
Discernment — How you reflect, judge, distinguish and make considered choices.
Relationships — The quality, meaning and role of your connections with other people.
Environment — The physical, social and wider contexts in which you live and how they affect you.
Wellbeing — How you attend to the physical, emotional and practical conditions that support living well.
Stewardship — How you use what you have, contribute beyond yourself and consider what you leave behind.
