¿How to discover my personal weaknesses? Anyone has weaknesses, in fact, in order to face self-improvement in a more positive way, it is better to use the concept of weakness than that of defect. Today in Psychology-Online, we address this question with the aim of improving the way of life by way of coaching.
To detect your personal weaknesses it is essential that you put into practice the introspection of look inside yourself in a sincere way and without self-deception. Otherwise, the exercise will be useless. You can write down on a blank sheet of paper three weaknesses that you think limit your life in a negative way, a barrier that conditions you and that you would like to overcome.
For example, you can also be inspired by qualities that you admire a lot in someone close to you, because you think they are important when it comes to being happy, and yet you do not have in the same grade.
Normally, what limits our life and conditions us is not something specific, that is, it is something that is repeated frequently from time to time. Hence, by analyzing your trajectory and listening to your emotions, you can detect different situations in which, curiously, you have reacted in a very similar way. For example, a person can suffer great anxiety every time there is a great change in her life, in that case, it is essential to face this fact. Someone can also react in a negative way whenever someone close to them disagrees in a conversation.
In short, think that those little stones that we all drag, become unbearable because they arise with relative frequency in similar situations. The most effective method to be able to make a change process is carry out a coaching process. Or also, I invite you to read a book about the enneagram, for example, "Nice to meet me."
The healthy envy shows the longing to see something good in others that you do not have. You can ask three people who know you very well to tell you which are your three virtues and a defect. It is better to do it this way to compensate for the unpleasant feeling that someone close to you suddenly says negative things to you.
Once you have detected what those possible weaknesses are, then, the next step is to develop a personalized action plan to change that habit.
