    Even though I had trouble with my gratitude journal entries, I enjoyed the act of doing it and what benefits I received. Before this specific practice, I thought I was a good example of someone who had great positive emotion. Although, after my experience I realized I externalize some of my disappointments which create negative emotions. I would often think about those negative feelings while I was laying down and it would make it difficult to sleep. I would blame the traffic for being late instead of saying I should have left earlier.…

My first and second strengths were not particularly surprising to me, however my third was not what I necessarily expected it to be, but I am certainly not unhappy with it. All three strengths are values I have always admired because I have grown up watching my parents and older siblings showcase all three. I have consciously tried to emulate their example regarding these strengths and it was intriguing and encouraging to see all three show up in the survey. I was glad to see which strength showed up as my top, as kindness and generosity are especially important to me.…
