Unexpected Ways To Apply Strengths

Dear {NAME}, Clients often think of their strengths in certain contexts—they may see themselves as the creative artist who paints for a living or the compassionate partner and parent. Perhaps it’s because they excel in those areas, or maybe they’re the life domains that bring them the most joy. Applying our strengths is an integral part of the "good life" (Seligman, 1991), after all, improving our wellbeing considerably. So...what if you could help others improve their happiness by applying those qualities in other life domains? If you haven’t yet used our Toolkit Exercise, Analyzing Strengths Use in Different Life Domains, this is a great way to do just that. Clients can start using this framework by identifying five personally relevant life domains and one of their signature strengths. They can then map out how much apply their chosen strength in each life domain, giving them an overview of how much they apply that talent, trait, or quality in each. While this is a great self-discovery exercise, Analyzing Strengths Use in Different Life Domains also helps clients: - Identify where they are potentially overusing their strengths - Prioritize those which they’d like to develop, and - Discover possibilities for applying their strengths more often in new, unique ways. Exercising our signature strengths in novel ways is a marvellous way to boost our happiness, and this tool is a perfect starting point for that journey. I would like to know what novel applications of strengths have helped your clients, so please do hit reply and let me know. Warmly, Seph Seph Fontane Pennock Co-founder PositivePsychology.com P.S.
