Objective: Strengths-focused Dialogues
Engaging in the Strengths-focused Identity Practice with others extends positivity into the world around you. Like a plant that is moved from the darkness into the light, you can thrive in a positive environment. Within Strengths-focused Relationships you will find acceptance, creativity, and a solutions mindset.
| Notes on Practice |
|---|
| To start a Strengths-focused relationship: 1. Find someone you would like to share positivity with. 2. Establish a regular time to meet for a Strengths-focused dialogue on Zoom, in person, or another way. 3. Use the directions on the website https://articulatingyourstrengths.org/index.php/strengths-focused-dialogue-instructions/ or in the book. 4. Continue to meet regularly for an hour a week for at least six weeks. That will give you a sense of whether you would like to continue. 5. During this hour, stay focused on positivity. |

“When you talk to yourself, you often don’t finish the ideas. You think you know what you’re talking about, but you don’t really put it into words, so it isn’t really clear what your thoughts are.”
