Okay good.
So now we'll start with the meditation which again is we're just going to go through Bernstein's list of 48 personal strengths.
I'm just going to read them out and all you're going to do is kind of feel them in the body,
Kind of recognize,
Okay this is part of my healthy adult mode,
My best self,
Feel into it,
Kind of allow the image thoughts,
Internal talk that would be associated with the words,
Let them arise and kind of really recognize them and set the intention to keep recognizing them and cultivate these qualities.
Okay good.
So authentic,
Authentic,
Stress tolerant,
Able to self-reflect.
See that?
Assertive.
Creative.
You know,
Keep seeing all this play out,
This imaginal scene.
Listen to yourself,
Hear yourself,
Feel yourself.
And all of us have all of these qualities.
Resourceful.
Centered.
Well balanced.
Stable.
Resilient.
Flexible.
Self-controlled.
Patient.
Self-disciplined.
Self-nurturing.
Taking good care of yourself.
Healthy.
Realistic.
When needed,
Objective.
Now the next few are going to be around connection.
So,
Empathic.
So imagine that.
What does that look like for you?
Perceptive.
Understanding.
Compassion.
Compassion.
So that means to have an interest and understanding for the suffering of others and wish that that decrease for them.
Kind.
Caring.
Also funny,
Witty,
Playful.
Grateful.
Beautiful.
Appreciative.
Imagine what that's like for you from your healthy adult place.
Wise.
Learn it.
Even spiritual.
Contemplating that,
Those parts of yourself.
Okay.
