As an Indigenous Recovery Warrior embracing the path of active recovery from substance use, I've come to a realization about a part of myself that I once saw as a flaw. Many aren't aware, but I've always been sensitive to criticism and felt easily targeted or picked on.In the past, this sensitivity seemed like a burden. I often wondered why I couldn't just be resilient like others. At times, it even created a distance between me, my friends, and my family; they would give me space, thinking it was what I needed.However, I now see this trait in a different light. This sensitivity has become a source of strength in my recovery journey. It has made me more empathetic, more connected to the experiences and feelings of others, and more aware of the impact of my actions and words.This transformation of my perceived flaw into a strength aligns with the teachings of “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People,” especially in terms of self-awareness and personal growth. The Indigenous Wellness Training Society further supports this journey, helping me and others like me understand and utilize our unique traits in a positive and empowering way.What about you? What's a trait you've always kept hidden, thinking it was a flaw? Remember, what might seem like a weakness can actually be a hidden strength. If you're looking for support in uncovering and embracing your unique qualities, I'm <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://portal.owlpractice.ca/iwtscanada/booking">HERE</a> to share insights and guidance.
