Self Reflection

So I decided that the first stage in the journey of self is self reflection. I think this because you have to know yourself before you can improve on yourself. 

We go through our day to day life without ever really reflecting on ourselves. We constantly check in with our Facebook, Email, Instagram and with our friends. This makes it so easy for us to avoid our own issues.

I think we need to start making time in our day to focus on our own strengths and weaknesses. It would also be an opportunity to get feedback from other people.

So What is Self Reflection?

So basically reflection is the process in which we can look at our own internal thoughts and feelings. We are able to focus on our current state or also reflect on our own past experiences. 

Unbelievably we have 50,000 thoughts on average per day and just as unbelievably over half of those thoughts are negative. How are we supposed to be positive people when our thoughts are mostly negative? 

What Can we do?

To start you can ask yourself some questions. 

* Do I use my time wisely? (Can you use the time better?)

* What do I take for Granted?

* When I wake up in the morning am I ready to take on the day?

* Are my thoughts negative before I go to bed?

* Do I let things that I can not control stress me out?

*Am I achieving goals that I have set for myself?

Use Affirmations

Think of things that you want to embrace, improve and achieve in your life. Once you have decided these things put them into several short affirmations. The affirmations should be written as though they are happening already. Use the affirmations to focus on the things that will lead you to your future happiness and success. 

Get rid of any negative thoughts and replace them with a positive thought or a goal that will help to push you in the right direction. 

Affirmations will help remind you of all of the positive things in your life and hopefully encourage you to continue to take steps to help you get to where it is that you want to be in the future.
