HEALTH TIP ⬇️

Strengths spotting, what a beautiful gift you can give and it doesn’t cost a thing.

You basically point out to other person one of their character strengths (e.g. creativity, humility, honesty, kindness, perseverance, leadership, etc.) and you say something like, “When you did ___, I really saw your INSERT STRENGTH HERE shining through.”

How to Strength Spot (using the SEA model):

S – Spot/label the strength in the other person
E – Explain what you observed and how they used their strength
A – Appreciate/recognize their value and the strength used (this one might not be appropriate in every situation, but the first two are!)

Strengths spotting is a beautiful practice that can help you connect with your spouse, kids, friends or even a random person helping you at the store.

It takes about 20-30 seconds to make someone feel seen, heard and valued… and really, isn’t that what it’s all about?

Note: This August, I’ll graduate as a Functional Medicine Health Coach. Functional Medicine is something I love and truly believe in because practitioners focus on finding the root cause of disease instead of just treating symptoms.

Functional Medicine Health Coaches are masters at health behavior change and mindset shifts, which is crucial when helping someone change a behavior so they can experience better health.

Strengths Spotting is a tool coaches use (and therapists use when practicing positive psychology) because it helps foster connections with yourself and others. I’ve applied the practice to my marriage and friendships; and it has definitely made my relationships stronger!
