What job do I want? How do I discover my inner work-related thoughts?

1. I have my life in my hands when I set personal goals!
I often only use a small part of what I can really do professionally. If I want to find out what I'm capable of professionally, it helps me to set professional goals that are a bit more difficult or where I can learn something new professionally.
Whether I achieve my professional goals often depends on how I think, feel and act. If my thoughts, feelings or behavior help me to achieve my goal, then these are my inner professional supporters.
Sometimes, however, I think, feel or do things that slow me down. I call these inner professional energy robbers. They keep me from achieving my goal or using my energy. I try to recognize my own inner professional promoters and energy thieves. This allows me to better understand which of my thoughts help me professionally – and which thoughts slow me down professionally and rob me of energy. If I know which of my thoughts promote me professionally, I write them in the box "My inner professional supporters". After that, I use my inner professional sponsors more often. They help me to be successful and satisfied.  I transform the energy thieves into inner professional supporters.
A supporter is, for example, when I say to myself:

"I can do the professional task."
"I'll just try the professional task."
"I can do the professional task."
"I can learn the professional task."
"I like to deal with professional task."

2. My Recognition of Strengths: What is a Strength?
A strength is something I'm good at. It can be a skill, a trait, or a particular way of thinking or acting. This strength can help me professionally.
Often I know my weaknesses better than my strengths. This exercise helps me to recognize my strengths and to be proud of them. It empowers me and shows me how to give positive feedback to others and to myself.
I know: It's sometimes hard to praise yourself or accept compliments. Many people – including me – have heard more often about what they are doing wrong instead of what they are doing well. This can have a negative impact on self-image. That's why it's important to be kind to myself. I see my strengths and accept them. 
Now I'll write down what I like about myself:

So my strengths are:
