“And how willing are you to lean on your strengths?” Milton Erickson
We forget, sometimes, that in other areas of our lives, we do very well in. When we have difficulty learning something new, we forget that we can use what we’ve learned from other areas of our lives. If, we have organizational skills at work, we can also use those same skills to organize a home project. Sometimes, we leave our problem-solving skills at work, when we need them at home. Usually, we’re rewarded for our skills at work, and we see no need to use them at home. But that’s untrue. Although, we’re not getting paid for using our skills at home, we do feel a sense of satisfaction, after we complete a home project.
We don’t have to scratch our heads, when trying to problem solve we can lean on our strength for that. At work, we’re totally in adult-mode, when we want to present our best self, but, when at home we age regress a little. We want to feel a little dependence on our significant other and leave our strengths at work. It’s alright to bring out our best self home as well, beside, we get a lot of things done around the house.
