About Toolbox Quizzes

Simply being aware of some aspects which drive and influence our daily lives is a powerful first step to turning inward with curiosity and care, and which may initiate further ideas/choices.

Quizzes can be conducted with or without a support person, and are useful for individuals to:

  • Build better awareness of how they see themselves.
  • Explore their inner world with curiosity, not judgment.
  • Support emotional wellbeing, creative expression, and personal growth.

And for professionals to:

  • Aid counsellors and psychologists to use these tools at their own discretion.
  • Coach and educate to foster metacognition and reflective learning.
  • Further narrative therapy, dialogical therapy, and cognitive-behavioural approaches.

Quizzes may additionally prove beneficial for user selected third parties (IE in a pre-employment assessment situation, sports coaching, or professional counselling environment).

Affirmations

Yes, it’s true the footsteps of those running out the door can be heard almost before the key-note speaker’s PowerPoint affirmations slide hits the screen! And this used to be me. Buried with the thought of how affirmations didn’t turn a few of my mates around, I was faced first with a decision: do something about my call-reluctance or go broke and go back to selling industrial hose. It was the doing something about it that really had me worried, as the solution from the best in the sales business at the time was beelining for an affirmation-fix. Yet, it was the best thing I ever did. And I didn’t need to invest in motivational seminars, mind-set shift consultants, or a set of 'how can I fix myself' encyclopaedias. And despite needing to hone a few key ingredients before mixing the affirmation ‘concrete’, getting ahead here it was blindingly simple, yet monumentally tricky at the same time. What was most tricky was overcoming my perception in their use, and managing the environmental influences seemingly determined to see me fail. But I’m here telling you they work. Not for all, but there are reasons for that. And there are also a couple of Plan Bs for those that just can’t bear the thought…

Affirmations Don’t Work!

Why are so many of us triggered by the word affirmations? Here’s one, ‘Unlock your power”. How does that feel? Are some triggered because of finding poor results? Or because we don’t wish to be reminded how we didn’t really give them a proper go in the first place? How come they seem to work for some, and not others? Are there ‘rules’ for their use? Has the negative opinion of others simply rubbed off on too many people?

Affirmations – Real Deep Dive

The word itself tends to emotionally polarise people like no other. Generally, it creates either a feeling of positive energy or one of throw me right now off the nearest cliff. For the latter, this often hails from a previous poor experience or deep belief – both usually either not being suitable for the individual (and they really don’t work for some people) or them being jammed down ones throat from others insisting they have all the answers – who themselves really have no idea what they are doing, and themselves then later failing with their own goal aspirations. Most who have used them well feel a quiet reminder of a good experience – usually as a modest internal knowing of how they made them work for themselves.
