Notice strengths and real support · S6.4

Recognize a strength without proving your worth

A difficult moment has made your abilities hard to see.

Everyday practice

Try these steps

1. Recall one specific action you took that required care, effort, judgment, or persistence.
2. Name the ability shown by that action, keeping the claim narrow and factual.
3. Consider whether that ability could help with the present situation. If useful, ask a trusted person for an example they observed.

An example

I checked the instructions when I was unsure. That shows care, even though the result was imperfect.

Reflect

Which example feels fair rather than exaggerated?

Next time

Collect examples when they occur; you do not need a daily achievement to deserve respect.
