Strength Spotting

One good brain-moment, named on purpose.

What this is for

Attention naturally goes toward what went wrong, especially when you get a lot of correction — the self-picture ends up lopsided.

When to use it

In the evening, or right after a day that felt like a list of things you got wrong.

What you leave with

One specific strength, named and kept, to balance out the running tally of mistakes.

Think back over today. What's one moment your brain did something well?

An idea, a fast reaction, noticing something others missed.

Pick one to keep going.

Why this can help

Deliberately noticing strengths builds a more complete and accurate self-picture, rather than one shaped only by corrective moments.
