[Note: Click on blog entry titles for related images]
“What makes me happy?”
“What are my signature strengths?”
“What is my purpose?”
Our first fwd1 exercise: As you move through this week, give yourself permission to reflect on what is meaningful to you. This may prompt thoughts related to your home life, reflections on your work, questions about your priorities, etc.
Let your mind roam as it wishes. Capture your thoughts in writing, drawing, and/or audio.
