Just as you can evaluate your own physical fitness, you can evaluate the strength of your change muscles.

Think about how you think and feel when something unexpected happens that presents a challenge.

Positivity: Do you tend to worry and focus on the things that have gone wrong (weaker muscle) or do you tend to be more hopeful and look at the bright side (stronger muscle)?

Confidence: Do you tend to doubt your ability to cope with the situation (weaker muscle) or do you tend to believe that you can deal with the challenge effectively (stronger muscle)?

Priorities: Do you tend to try to take care of everything at once (weaker muscle) or do you tend to identify the most important thing to focus your attention on (stronger muscle)?

Creativity: Do you tend to stick to familiar approaches and solutions (weaker muscle) or do you tend to come up with several new ideas about how to approach the challenge (stronger muscle)?

Connection: Do you tend to try to address the challenge alone (weaker muscle) or do you tend to reach out to others who can help you (stronger muscle)?

Structure: Do you tend to do whatever seems easiest at the moment (weaker muscle) or do you tend to create a plan and stick with it even when it’s hard (stronger muscle)?

Experimenting: Do you tend to play it safe and try to avoid taking risks (weaker muscle) or do you tend to try things even though you might not succeed (stronger muscle)?

You might want to ask some friends or family members how they would rate you. They can sometimes help you see things about yourself that aren’t as clear to you.
