Family bonding✨ First laugh of the year with a 'strengths' test!

My eldest daughter came home on New Year's Day!
I enjoyed talking with her until late into the night✨

I wrote about it in my New Year's Day post too🤗
“The start of 2022 was... full of smiles✨”

We had a good laugh over the
“strengths” test we took there😂

It described us so perfectly (lol)
We discovered some unexpected things, and
once again,
I felt like I truly understood my real self❤️

It was so much fun that
I told my husband and second daughter about the “strengths” test too!

I showed them the chart of 24 strengths,

“Can you guess the top 5 ‘strengths’ for me and my eldest daughter?”
“Which 5 are our ‘weaknesses’?”

We played a game by asking each other questions✨

Will you get it right~
Can you guess it~
Which one do you think it is~
Which one could it be~

My husband and second daughter were

Hmm...
Is it this one?
It feels like it could be this too...
I have a feeling it's this and this~

(lol)

Wrong!
That one isn't included!

(lol)

Oh~!
Then this one?
Could it be this~
I feel like this one is included~

(lol)

Oh~ hehe~
You're close!

(lol)

Huh, what could it be?
What's the answer?

Ta-da!✨

Whaaaaaat!!!
Ahahaha~~~ (lol)
I totally get that~~~~

So unexpected!
This is crazy~~~ (lol)

It's spot on!
So fun~~~ (lol)

😂😂😂

I want to try it too!
I want to do it too!

During the day on the second day of the New Year,
the whole family enjoyed the 'Strengths' test together💕

Understand yourself, and understand each other!
We were able to rediscover each other's 'uniqueness' and more✨

What is the 'Strengths' test...

It's something I introduced in a magazine about deepening well-being😊

VIA-IS survey

https://www.viacharacter.org/survey/account/register

People have 24 character strengths,
and by ranking them, you can understand your greatest strengths and weaknesses!

Because you can use your strengths to increase your happiness✨

This was truly so much fun✨

Why, you ask?

Because it reflected each person so well, and it helped me
understand their unique qualities even better💖

Seeing the things we have in common made me think, "We really are a family," and feeling each person's individuality allowed us to appreciate one another all over again✨🤗

Surprisingly, we already understood each other's strengths quite well!

It was incredibly funny💖😂

The thing that made the family laugh the most was,

that our eldest daughter's lowest-ranked strength (24th place) was,

Self-Discipline

! (lol)😂

We cracked up so hard✨✨🤣

And what's more,

Even my second daughter's lowest ranking was

Self-discipline!

What!😳

Are you serious? (lol)🤣

Well, well, she's still a child, after all!
That's just how it is, right?🤗

And as for my own self-discipline,

it was 21st~~~💦

It's in my top 5 weaknesses~~~ (lol)✨🤣

I can't really say anything about anyone else!

We all laughed our heads off together!

Hey, what about Dad?

My husband's self-discipline was

20th!!!

This one is also in the top 5 weaknesses, too!✨(lol)🤣

Hahahaha~~~~~✨(lol)

What a family with no self-discipline!❗️

So hilarious~~~~~✨(lol)🤣🤣🤣

It was a huge hit!✨💖

We may lack self-discipline, but
each of our strengths is being put to good use, right!

Each person's top

number one greatest strength is✨

Eldest daughter: Curiosity

It was🤗

(The descriptions for the items are the same for everyone)

One's greatest strength

The top 5 are,

what that person was born with✨

I felt!

It really brings out their true character😊

My second daughter said this!

"The one that is ranked first is the most like that person"

Indeed!✨

Truly, the strength of their individuality!💖

That's what I thought✨😊

Looking at each of the 24 strengths

while comparing them to ourselves and each other,

in a lively, chaotic way,

a moment of family bonding💖

[New Year's laughter, deepening our bonds]

I managed to compose a haiku✨🤗

In the evening, we also

enjoyed playing games together as a family🎮✨

Having time to spend slowly as a family,

and enjoying something together as a family,

is such a heartwarming and very happy time~💕

Since we are an individualistic family,
we usually value ourselves,
and perhaps because we feel valued, we cherish our time together? (lol)😅

We're such a similar family, aren't we?✨

It was such a fun family gathering💖

(I'll share my ranking of 24 'strengths' again tomorrow✨🤗)
