It’s January and time for those New Year Resolutions once more. We all want to improve something about ourselves and that’s great. Self evaluation is often part of the process. Ask yourself this, is your evaluation balanced?
- Take out a piece of paper, yes I said paper, and fold it in half. On the right side of the paper write your list of things you’d like to improve about yourself. We all know and have them. This is the easy part.
- On the left side list your strengths; all the qualities you like about yourself and all the things you do to to take care of yourself and others. These are the things you don’t need to change.
- Review what’s on the left side of the list and draw a line to those attributes that can help you accomplish what’s on the right side of the list.
- Lastly, ask yourself this: What are some of the things that you do for others, that you can do to help yourself?
In the process of looking at who we want to become, it’s important to give ourselves credit for what’s good and been achieved thus far.
