(You might call them strengths and weaknesses.) In this episode, Shannon and Janine discuss how the things that you struggle with can also be your superpowers and how your superpowers gone too far can turn into your kryptonite.\n\nDiscussion topics include:\n\n\u2022 How personality traits can be on a continuum\n\u2022 Case in point: perfectionism can be paralyzing but it can also help you do things well\n\u2022 Similarly, a good-enough mentality may make life easier but it may also promote mistakes\n\u2022 Looking at things that are challenges for you to see what strengths you can find in them.\n\u2022 Ask yourself: What do you have to be good at to have the challenges you're having? And how can you apply that information to help you get past the challenge?\n\u2022 The inspiration for this episode: The CliftonStrengths Assessment\n\u2022 Shannon's top strengths from the CliftonStrengths Assessment and how they reveal her superpowers and kryptonite (spoiler alert: perfectionism is part of it)\n\u2022 The good news: How you are isn't good or bad; you may just be able to shift the needle a little bit on the continuum\n\u2022 A great exercise: Take a look at the things you struggle with and consider what you need to be good at to do those things. Then use those superpowers in other areas of your life so they feel beneficial.\n\u2022 Recognizing that the things you are good can have negative effects if taken too far\n\u2022 A side note: We're resurrecting Declutter Happy Hour in February! Stay tuned.\n\nVisit the show notes at www.gettingtogoodenough.com for links","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/cd2e0d56-1e2f-481a-8571-c4663350c6a6/648i5bBT0OJL-jqDq5kKTfH1.png"}
