Recall a difficult situation or time you got through somehow. Find what you did, who you turned to, and which quality helped.
Choose a past difficult situation — but avoid one that's too painful.
Write what you did or whose help you sought.
Choose a strength: patience, responsibility, empathy, learning, courage, steadiness, asking for help, or another.
Write one small way to use that strength today.
Say: "This strength worked before; I can use it in a small way today too."
