How to Concentrate on Your Strengths to Stay Positive

Everyone has strengths and they are good at something. You might be one of the millions of people who are working a job that does you no justice. You might have qualifications far and beyond what you are doing everyday. This is a goal you can set for yourself to use your strengths. However, on a daily basis you can practice the things you enjoy and the things you are good at. If you don't have the time to do these things everyday you should put time aside to do these things at least three times a week or even throughout the weekend.

When you focus on things you are good at it makes you feel good. You should have a hobby if you are unable to do these things while you are working everyday. If you love arts and crafts or writing you should spend the time doing these things. This can help you become positive. When you focus on strengths and things you enjoy you will also become motivated to achieve goals focused around these things. This might include entering in a contest or applying for a job.

The best thing you can do for yourself is play on your strengths. Think about the things that you enjoy doing. Think about the things you are good at. You know you are good at something. You should think about these things and begin to focus on them. Set time aside for yourself to enjoy these things. Don't think of something you are good at that you despise. Be sure you focus on something that makes you feel good. If you are not good at this task it is still okay. You can be the worst painter but if it makes you feel good and positive then you should continue. Pay no attention to any negativity that comes your way during this time also.

One last point, when you choose things to do that make you feel good about yourself be sure these things are healthy for you. If you feel great when you drink wine because you forget about the bad it could create a problem. Choose a skill or something positive for you that makes you feel good.
