*Research shows that using our signature strengths in a new way every day for as little as a week has been found to be the most effective intervention to increase happiness levels AND decrease depression, up to 6 months. (Seligman et al., 2005; Gander et al., 2013, and others) Those that are languishing the most, are the most likely to experience the greatest benefits.
I am now a believer. I was slow starting the signature strengths 7-day challenge due to a ridiculous number of work and volunteer priorities all hitting at the same time. But then I got started and had numerous “aha” moments as I was more present in the “gifts” of Beauty and Excellence that were happening all around me. There is a right time and a right place for everything. This is the time. Thank-you Susan! – Leanne F, Kenora ON
