Karen facilitated a couple of wonderful exercises on the topics of happiness and signature strengths.
The morning group discussed happiness and typical aspects of happy people. The afternoon group introduced signature strengths.
The positive psychology and signature strengths information found at www.authentichappiness.com. The handout used can be found at http://www.happinesshypothesis.com/strengths-self-rating-scale.doc.
The process today varied from the written instructions for identifying one's signature strengths. In our group the participants were instructed to just identify their top 5 signature strengths from the list; each participant was called upon to share their list of strengths and were asked to elaborate on (a) how they have expressed these strengths, and (b) looking to the future, will be using these strengths.
The positive nature of the activity made it very non threatening.
