#83: Guided Mindfulness Visualization

Positive Impact with Andrew Schultz

One of my favorite, and go-to, mindfulness visualizations I do with all of my coaching clients.

It's hard to build a better future if you don't know your strengths. Knowing your strengths will allow you to use them to build good things and plow your way through those difficult challenges and roadblocks ahead of you.

Knowing your weaknesses is important, too. You may not think of weaknesses as the "best parts of you" but a weakness is really a potential in disguise. It represents an area of your life that you can continue to develop - something you can grow. As it grows, it becomes something bigger, better, and more fulfilling. In a way, a weakness is like a seed - it has the potential to be a big, strong tree, as long as you give it the nutrients it needs. Proper self-care and a growth mindset can help you turn your weaknesses into strengths.

Some of our other great parts of ourselves are ones we don't necessarily realize or acknowledge as much as we should.

With all this in mind, let's take a quick journey just to relax. Then you will have a chance to answer the self-exploration questions below.

Journal Reflection

1 - What sorts of memories did you come across on your photo wall?

2 - What kinds of positive qualities did you find in yourself?

3 - Describe a time when you showed compassion in your life and the positive effect it had on another person.

4 - Describe a time when you exhibited emotional strength.

5 - Describe a time when your humor had a positive impact on the people around you.

6 - What did it feel like to complete this exercise? How did you feel during your journey? How did you feel answering these questions?

7 - What has this exercise taught you about yourself and/or your life?
