New tools for self improvement

I'm feeling pretty good today. Better than I have been for a while. Had a good appointment with my therapist yesterday. I always feel better when I leave her office, more hopeful. She gave me some handouts on anger and personal strengths. I realize that I have a hard time identifying my strengths. My therapist had to point most of them out for me and give examples based on her own observations. After listening to her I'm not sure I agree with everything she said but I think the point is that I may have more strengths than I give myself credit for. The worksheets on anger talked about the emotions behind anger and techniques to deal with anger when it does happen. One sheet talked about how we can sometimes ruminate over something and basically keep the anger going. I do this a lot. She wanted me to re-read them at home and do the exercises that go along with them. Maybe this will help.
