With all the challenges and choices looming in the air, what is your stance?
Are you concerned and experiencing the uncertainty? Or are you seeing opportunities and feel excited energy for action? Whichever your dominating experience is, try to integrate your gifts and strengths. Are you aware of them? Do you know what your gifts are and if so, how do you share them? When was the last time, you said out loud: “I am good at this, I love doing this – this is how I want to experience my life!”
Being in contact and aware of our gifts and strengths gives us access to our life energy, to something very authentic in us. This is our asset, our treasure. This is what we have to give, what we can share and make meaningful contributions with. But even more important in challenging times: This is what can motivate us toward action, what can re-energize us and overcome concerns and fear.
Below you'll find an exercise that can be helpful to recover or emphasize your gifts and strengths. May it support you in getting in touch with your inner source!
EXERCISE: Explore your gifts and strengths
1. Take a stack of index cards and list your gifts and strengths individually.
2. Next, for each of them write down where, when and how you apply them (you might also make notes of the environment and its quality, people with whom you share them, people who are supportive etc.)
3. Now think of situations or places where you seem to forget about them, hide them, or simply ignore them. So, what is that about?
4. Are there situations or areas in your life where you want to integrate more of your gifts and strengths? Who could profit, if you did? How could that look like?
(Note: Please try to work through this exercise with an open mind and be kind with yourself, no judgment here!)
