#65: "When Our Strengths Become Our Weaknesses"

In this Monday Mindset Episode, I am sharing one of the most impactful life lessons I have ever learned.  Our strengths will take us so far in our lives. They will help us to overcome challenges, achieve our goals and help us to persist when we hit roadblocks.  There comes a point in our lives when doing the same thing won’t yield different results and we have to learn a new way of living.  For most of us, it takes years, a lifetime or never to embrace this lesson.  It requires us to accept that we don’t have the answer and be open to receiving new answers.  This is a growth shift that is necessary for us to create change in our lives. Today I am sharing 5 steps I had to go through to shift my thinking to survive one of the darkest times in my life, and that led me actually thriving in my life.  It literally changed everything and I know it can make a massive difference in your life too!

In this episode we talk about: 

1. Make a list of all of your current strengths. Don’t edit, censor or limit yourself. If you really don’t know, ask a friend or someone who knows you well. 

2. Write down all of the things that your strengths have helped you to overcome.  How did your strengths save you and help you to overcome all of the challenges in your life?

3. Write down where you are stuck in your life? What problem or situation are you repeating and how long have you been trying to create change or results in this area?  Is it working?  How much longer will you stay on this path?  

4. How could you look at your approach or this situation differently?  How can you shift your perspective? How can you ask for help, try something new or admit that maybe you don’t have the answers?  What if someone else has the answers you are searching for?  Are you open to receiving them? 

5. What if it is a completely different approach that will create the change you are looking for?  What if your healing process is on the other side of this one shift?
