Lesson 13: Self Control And Relapse Prevention - Slide 23





Expanding Awareness Of Your Strengths
- Self-awareness is the ability to perceive your own existence, including your traits, thoughts, feelings and behaviors
- It’s a personal understanding of the very core of your identity and being, a process of scrutinizing yourself as you live
- Bear in mind that everyone has strengths AND weaknesses, and being honest about both will help you plan out a life that takes maximum advantage of your strengths
- Your signature strengths are the positive characteristics that you clearly demonstrate and are identified with you
