Strengths in Two Directions
DOWNLOAD
Research shows that many people use their strengths differently depending on whether they are relating to others or themselves. For example, someone might show great compassion to friends while being overly self-critical in private. Psychologists refer to this difference as the“self–other asymmetry” in applying positive qualities (Neff, 2003; Whelan-Berry & Somerville, 2010).
This exercise invites you to explore how you use your strengths with others versus yourself, helping you identify patterns and discover opportunities for greater balance. By cultivating more consistent self-kindness and support, you can enhance your overall well-being and strengthen your relationships—both with others and with yourself.
