Your True Nature has...Soft-Courageous Energy
Hey there, Results of the Strengths Quiz are in. You hold Soft-Courageous energy, which includes some incredible strengths and gifts!I bet you’ve felt misunderstood in life, haven’t you? Because you absolutely love to give, love to be loved, and want all things that are comfortable and cozy. You have a side to you that is nurturing and steady, like a slow-moving river. Much like a steady stream of water, you like to flow and as a result, unpredictable change isn't your favorite. You aren't always open to new ideas or spur of the moment moves. You may need more time to really get on board with an idea or start a project. Your superpower is in your ability to love, nurture, and you have the courage to be consistent when it matters the most. You do not like to give up! And the world is a better place for it. At the same time, people mistake your love of life’s sweetness as a weakness, lack of focus or purpose. What they don’t know is that, much like that flowing water, your strength isn’t loud or aggressive. It’s a game-changer because it's steady, un-intimidating, and builds trust for people. You're a true asset to any friendship, team, or project, unless you're imbalanced...When out of balance, your energy becomes: cold, pessimistic, judgmental, and controlling.Imbalance can also look like: struggling to wake up, not wanting to exercise, snacking a lot, low sex drive.When out of balance, your mindset becomes about failure and you can get hyper critical of yourself and your worth.Things that cause imbalance: lack of routine, unpredictable schedule, super sugary & dense foods (think dairy), not enough variety in your life. To stay in balance: It’s best you stick to careers and relationships that acknowledge your efforts consistently, and provide you a rhythmic schedule that is not chaotic. You want to eat light & warming foods (stay tuned to learn what those are). Soft, courageous Strength individuals are nurturers by nature who give off a healing vibe to those they care about and are fiercely loyal to their priorities. You thrive when your talents are recognized and you are really the glue that holds your team together. At work. At home. You are the one that plans, prepares, and gets things done. If you want someone to check the details before the final product is sent out, you call the Soft-courageous. If you need to put a plan into action with logic and practicality involved, you tag in a soft-courageous. Your Strengths:As a soft-courageous strength queen, you’re funny and complimentary - people love having you around, and you say just the right thing to make someone’s heart melt with joy. You can see a plan through just as much as you can see the strengths in another person, and you can execute responsibilities flawlessly. You’re humble and will always modestly take credit for your work, even when it’s an absolute show-stopper. You will keep going for the greater good or to fulfill the bigger purpose rather than give yourself a rest. You are a true team player and you care so much about the well-being of your friends, family, and/or co-workers. People know how dedicated you are and they are relying on you more than you may realize. You are an asset because you are the stable foundation others need to feel like they can keep going. It's a true superpower you have!Your Weak Spots:Sometimes you can get bogged down in details, though. You overthink, overanalyze to the point of never starting. If you don’t want to drop the ball, you want to balance your steady and reliable traits with some spontaneity and trust. Make sure to be in jobs and relationships that recognize your detail-oriented talents and show off your ability to be pull people closer.You can also fall into slumps of low motivation and decreased desire when you’ve lost sight of your strength. When you feel unappreciated or overworked, you cling to things that bring pleasure, even if it’s not the best for you (chips, candy, Netflix). You can get resistant to change and your energy slows down, like rocks. Be sure to lean on others whom you trust and take breaks. Your balance comes in the form of letting go of control, relaxing, and getting your body moving. It will reset your energy completely and get you back on the horse. You can easily fall into a pattern of giving so much to others in the name of being a strong support system that you never really build up a strong foundation of your own needs and how to ask for them and receive them appropriately. You may feel like no one can ever love you enough, but it’s really because you’re so used to giving past your limits that you’re craving to be replenished in ways that are nearly impossible for any one person or thing to do.Instead, you’ve got to start prioritizing yourself, putting in systems of self-nurturance and do the work to shift your mindset out of “doing for others to be recognized” towards “i recognize that I can do more for others when I do more for myself”.
