ONE IDEA FOR YOU TO THINK ABOUT

How often do you truly consider your strengths? What if I told you that in just a few minutes, you could boost your confidence? Today, I'm sharing a highly effective exercise to help you recognize and value your strengths.

Let's begin with a straightforward definition:

Confidence is a feeling of self-assurance arising from one's appreciation of one's own abilities or qualities. This definition is both simple and actionable!

Try this: 

List five abilities and five qualities that you're proud of. When you take the time to think through and write out your strengths, you will value yourself more and you will want to embody them more! Grab a notepad (either digital or paper) and create a table like this:

ONE QUESTION TO ASK YOURSELF

How could your life change if you choose to focus on the abilities and qualities that you're proud of?

ONE EXERCISE FOR YOU TO TRY THIS WEEK

Choose one ability and one quality to strengthen this week. Set an intention to express these strengths with those around you, whether it's colleagues, friends, or family. Consider how you'll bring these strengths to life this week.
