Positive Qualities Record

If you struggle with low self-esteem, self-criticism, perfectionism, or negative beliefs about yourself, it can be difficult to notice your positive qualities. The idea that you have strengths, skills, and personal achievements might not even cross your mind.

Overlooking your positive qualities and achievements isn’t just unfair – it can also keep difficulties like these going. Learning to appreciate your strong points can help counterbalance the self-critical thoughts that undermine your confidence.

Keeping a daily record of your positive qualities can be a helpful way to notice, appreciate, and believe in your strengths, skills, and achievements.

Let’s get started. 

Overview

Negative beliefs and attentional biases can obscure the recognition of personal strengths and achievements. This worksheet guides clients in documenting their positive attributes, helping to combat distorted self-perceptions. Through daily recording and reflection, clients work towards correcting information processing biases and building positive beliefs about themselves. The Positive Qualities Record aligns with therapeutic goals by encouraging a more balanced self-view.
