Do Strengths Matter? (from the work of Martin Seligman, Ph.D.)

Try These

1. Every night for the next two weeks, keep a daily log of three (3) good things that happened to you that day. Next to the good things, speculate why this happened to you.

2. Pick your five (5) best strengths. Every day for the next week apply one of these strengths in a new way.
