Ways to Employ the Power of Your Strengths
If you have ever had a job interview, you have likely been asked what your strengths are. It's a common question. It's often easier for them to focus on their weaknesses instead. Below are five ways you can identify your strengths and use them to help you.
Take an online assessment of your character strengths. Once you have taken the assessment, brainstorm different ways that you can use your core strengths throughout the week, then document your experience each time you use your strength in a new way.
Identify times you've used your strengths in the past. Write out these examples in a journal. Next, reflect on how these strengths have served you in different areas of your life.
Reflect on feedback（反馈）you've received from others about your strengths. Think back to times when others provided you with positive feedback about your strengths. Write out what the positive feedback was.
Use a strengths jar. Anytime you notice that you have used one of your strengths, write down what strength was used and put it in the jar.
Engage in new activities and hobbies that test your strengths. Getting out of your comfort zone and trying new activities, hobbies, or classes can help you get in touch with new strengths. Contrary to what you may think, being good at the activity or hobby you try is not needed to get in touch with your strengths. For example, if you decide to try rollerblading（轮滑）for the first time and fall repeatedly, you may discover that humor is a strength.
A．Make full use of your strengths.
B．Identify your signature strengths.
C．What you find may surprise you.
D．Of course, not everyone has the same hobbies.
E．However, many people have a hard time identifying their strengths.
F．Reflect about previous times when you exhibited your signature strengths.
G．Once every few weeks, set aside some time to review what you have written.
