User Profile: pamharley003

As a step to our growth path for our Community, I am making this post to get your insight on Self reflection.

What is Self Reflection:

Self-reflection is the capacity of humans to exercise introspection and to attempt to learn more about their fundamental nature and essence. This capacity is thought to be an essential feature of self-awareness and depends on a variety of cognitive and emotional skills.

When you reflect on everything about yourself, it’s not something a lot of people are fond of as you’re forced to face both the good and bad parts of yourself.

Self-reflection is necessary to be the best version of yourself in life.

Even if we’re continually changing, doing this means that you’re holding yourself for certain decisions and actions needed to help you grow.

Benefits of Self Reflection:

1. Better relationships: Any time you are faced with a new relationship or even a conflict, self-reflection can help. You can spend some time looking inwards to assess your situation and make an educated decision based on how you feel about the relationship, and not necessarily in the heat of the moment.

2. Greater Sense of Self: Practicing self-reflection allows you to sit alone with yourself, which many people rarely get the chance to do. It can get quite uncomfortable at times, but this is required for growth. In this reflecting time, you get to silence the outside noise and listen to what YOU want. What your energy levels are, your health status, your passions, everything.

Ways to Practice to Self Reflection:

1. Identify the Important Questions

2. Meditate

3. Journal

4. Perform Breathing Exercises

5. Take a Walk In Nature

6. Assess What You Are Grateful For

7. Set Specific Goals

8. Perform a Self-Check Up

Questions to answer:

1. How will you begin to practice self-reflection?

2. Who are you and what do you want out of life?

3. What are your goals, hopes, dreams and desires?

Would love to see your answers heart
