Recognizing Personal Strengths to Reduce Stress

Individuals and couples often seek therapy, because their lives are so stressful. They frequently focus on their problems and fail to acknowledge the strengths they have to take action to make changes and lead enjoyable, successful lives.

Here are some questions to ask yourself when you are feeling stressed:
  • How do I relate to my Self and others?
  • What qualities do others appreciate about me?
  • What gifts do I have and how do I share them?
  • What goals have I reached?
  • How would others evaluate my achievements?
  • What story do I tell myself about my life?
