What if I told you that instead of focusing on your weaknesses and working hard on improving them, you should first focus on your strengths and do more of them?
How would that feel?
What if you could shift yourself to see all of your amazing strengths and build on them...celebrate them...more of them?
Wouldn’t that be amazing?
I believe there are things we definitely can work on to improve, but sometimes it just makes more sense to delegate or ask for help from someone who can do it better, faster and with more joy.
How much time do you spend on things that truly strengthen you? Do you even know what they are? Is it time in nature? Time with family? Time alone? Are you energized when cooking a delicious, healthy meal or does that drain you?
Asking yourself what brings you strength is an important step to your self-care and asking for help with what doesn’t is just as important!
So, your assignment is to take some time to reflect on what gives you strength. Then, think about what takes away your strength or depletes you. Finally, find some creative ways to add more of what does and less of what doesn’t. How can you delegate?
Feeling stuck? Try this with a friend and see if you have some things you could swap? Not all of us are fed by the same activities. Maybe there is something you enjoy to do that your friend doesn't and vice versa.
