The Power of 3

I often use this technique with many of clients and I find it extremely useful for myself as well!
Ask 3 of your dearest friends to write down 3 things they love about your character, and 3 things they dislike.

After receiving the results. Spend time soaking it in and feeling the positive comments, and then spend time really reflecting and thinking about the "negative" comments.
Do your best not to make excuses or rationalizations at those not-so-favorable comments (and try your best not to get mad at your dear friends who have the courage to do this great favor for you.)
Instead, allow yourself to distant from the comments themselves, and stay closer to the feeling this motivates within you.
How can changing these qualities improve your life?

Can you imagine your life without these qualities?

Do any of the 3 friends see the same "poor" qualities?

Is there a common theme?

Are you WILLING to look closely at what those dear to you feel and see, or does your Ego shove it away pridefully?

I have often found this exercise to be one of the greatest catalysts to deep change within us. I find great solace in knowing that our dear friends can mirror such greatness in us, as well as reflect to us some of our divine "opportunities."

It might be interesting to do this with people you only kind-of-know, or maybe with co-workers that interact with you on more of a surface level. Do you think it would be similar or different to the comments made by your close friends?

To your greatest self~
