Resilience- Focusing on Strengths during Challenges

The person who possess these badge is able to identify their strengths and use them during challenging times in their life.
﻿
Using our strengths builds resilience and can help us overcome obstacles. Based on the steps below, we can structure a process of reflection and plan-making on how we can use all the skills we already possess and all the assets we have to an exceptional degree to manage challenges more quickly and effectively.
﻿
1. Identify your strengths – Spend some time contemplating and making a list of your strengths. You could do so all by yourself, by asking a close friend, coworker or family member to help you identify them. You can even use various tools such as SWOT analysis. Regardless of which approach you take, create a list of your top strengths, as recognizing them is the first step in being able to take advantage of them.
2. Reflect – Think about how you could use your strengths to overcome the challenges in your life. Also consider how you can use your strengths in new and different ways than you have in the past.
3. Set goals – Make a list of your current challenges and the strengths you have that could help you move forward with them. You don’t need a long-term plan – just a few clear steps to keep you moving forward with your current tasks or goals.
4. Assess – After executing your plan, take some time to assess your experience focusing on your strengths. Write about your experience, including what you learned and how you felt. Set more goals to continue working from your strengths. If something did not work so well, figure out how to change it so that it is helpful.
