Self-reflection…..to self examine or to mediate on self. Hmmmm, this is a very interesting term to me because at first glance it could sound narcissistic. Why does one need to spend time thinking about self? When the reality is it’s a vital part to this journey that each of us is on.
For me self-reflection is a re-adjustment process that I go through to see what areas in my life are on the right track and what areas need to be tweaked a bit. It’s not a time of self hate or self pity. It’s not a time where I reminisce or wish that I could have done things differently. I used to do that and it really is counterproductive. What’s done is done, so no since in having regrets or beating yourself up. Learn from it and move on.
I have entered into a time in my life where I no longer want to sweat the small stuff because in the grand plan those small things really aren’t important. I don’t want to run around and point blame anymore. Instead I want to hold myself accountable to any role that I have played. These are a couple of things that I have discovered about myself during self-reflection.
I admit that I don’t always have that Oprah “Ah-ha” moment but I do surface with a refreshed outlook on life in general. Examining past experiences and understanding what worked and what didn’t, can help you make better decisions on your journey. Better decisions can lead to future triumphs!
