Knowing your strengths and values is the first step toward being your best self and increasing your personal satisfaction and happiness. Take ten minutes to take this free "Character Strengths" survey (https://www.viacharacter.org/survey/account/register) and read your free report, focusing on your top 6 strengths/values. How are you using these today in your professional and personal life? How could you use them more to achieve even greater success?

Pick a couple of your top strengths to focus on over the next month. Commit to practicing the strengths in small ways each day. For example, if "curiosity" is one of your strengths, you could take a new route home from work and explore a new neighborhood, or try an ethnic cuisine you have never tasted before. More ideas can be found here: https://www.viacharacter.org/topics/articles/use-your-strengths-to-boost-happiness.

Through doing this you will become more aware of and "activate" your strengths and values, and find increased happiness and self-confidence.
