Look at Your Strengths

Research has shown that focusing on your strengths decreases depression and increases healthy behaviors such as an active lifestyle.

You can acknowledge and affirm your strengths by telling yourself, I believe in my abilities and strengths. In order to focus on your strengths, you must first recognize what they are.

Ask yourself two questions:

1. In what areas do I feel strong?

2. In what areas am I getting stronger?

These areas can be as simple as feeling strong in a particular skill such as cooking, drawing, or reading.

You may have strong interpersonal skills, or maybe you are pretty good at getting organized or using a computer.

Take a moment now to acknowledge what you are good at as well as the skills you look forward to developing.
