Return to your reflections

The way you feel or think about an experience might change over time, revealing new insights. Revisit a past reflection you captured about an experience that had an impact on you. What parts still resonate with you? Does any part of it feel less true of you now? What do you notice now that you didn’t before?

Mix and match your interests + strengths

Tapping into different strengths can lead you to approach an interest in a new way. Choose a favorite interest and 2-3  strengths you can practice through your interest. For example, if you focus on photography, what does it look like to take photos focused on Hope? Humor? Curiosity? Notice any changes and what each strength helps you do.

Tune in to your energy

Both your mind and body can give you signals about where you want to focus your time. As you go through your routine today, notice when you feel the most energetic or alive. Keep track of any activities, places, or people that help you feel this way — how can you create more opportunities to feel this energy?
