Self reflection helps you when you feel stuck amidst the chaos of life
What is self reflection?
The ability to pause and reflect your life, behaviour and beliefs through self awareness and then working to change it is called self reflection!
Self awareness comes through mindfulness, when you attend the present events attentively and actively without being judgemental. Self reflection strengthens you emotionally because when you focus inwards, your mind finds the best ways to solve the issues with mindfulness.
It brings clarity of thoughts and leaves behind the doubts that hold you as your false beliefs, it can also spark insight which can alter the way you see yourselves and those around you. It also provides a different point of view.
If you feel stuck amidst the chaos of life, and the things are not working in your favor …it’s time for self reflection and getting through the odd situation by responding thoughtfully.
“Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and over again but expecting different results.” – Albert Einstein
