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.
