Understanding your struggles also means noticing the abilities, people, and practices that have supported you.
Take a wider view
- Recall a manageable challenge you navigated. What helped?
- Name one strength you used: persistence, humor, discernment, kindness, creativity, or the ability to ask for help.
- Who or what provided support?
- Where is that strength already present in your life today?
- Choose a small way to use it intentionally this week.
You do not need to find a lesson or a gift in a painful experience to recognize your strengths.
A question to carry
What capacity have I been overlooking because I am focused on what feels difficult?
