Steps
1 / Self-Reflection
​Begin by taking a moment for self-reflection. I encourage you to think about moments in your life when you felt particularly confident, competent, and energized. These could be instances where you excelled in a task, received compliments, or simply felt a sense of natural ease and enjoyment.
2 / Identify Patterns
Review your reflections and look for patterns or recurring themes. Are there specific activities, skills, or areas of interest that consistently appear in these positive experiences? I encourage you to jot down these patterns.
3 / Embrace Uniqueness
Everyone has a unique combination of talents and strengths. I encourage you to embrace your individuality and understand that your natural abilities contribute to making you special and valuable.
4 / Seek External Feedback
To gain a more comprehensive understanding of your talents, seek feedback from others. You can ask friends, family, teachers, or mentors about observations of your strengths and what they believe you naturally excels at. Approach this step with an open mind and a willingness to embrace constructive feedback.
5 / Appreciation and Gratitude
Take a moment to appreciate and express gratitude for your natural talents. Realize that these gifts are the foundation for growth and achievement. Acknowledging and nurturing your strengths can lead to a more fulfilling and purposeful life.
Write down the talents and strengths you have identified during this exercise. You can also reflect on the impact these talents have had on your life and the positive outcomes you have experienced.
