Have you ever asked yourself that question?
“What’s wrong with me?”
I reckon most of us have, at some point.
It’s a hard question to answer though.
“What’s wrong with me?” already assumes something is actually wrong with us.
Maybe a better question we could ask is;
“What am I good at?”
Probably a question that we might struggle with more initially.
We might tell ourselves “nothing” or “not much”.
Writing off the countless things that we do successfully daily and weekly.
Considering them to be just “expected behaviour”.
But they will be there.
Things that we successfully do.
And we can learn from them.
We might tell ourselves that we’re “no good at sticking to things” when there are plenty of things that we do stick to fine.
Look at what’s helping those things happen – could any of that help with the things we’re struggling with?
What makes those things easier to do?
Have we made time for it?
Are other people involved?
Why does it matter enough to us that we keep doing it?
Asking ourselves “What am I good at?” will get us much further than “What’s wrong with me?”

P.S. Maybe you’re not the problem. Maybe the approach you’ve been trying is join RISE.
