Self Reflection

In order to maintain a healthy balanced relationship with yourself you have to constantly have self-reflection moments. These are the moments when you’re alone with your thoughts and you question yourself about your actions. Why did I do that? Why did I say that? Why did I allow them to treat me that way?  Why why why. These why times are perfect opportunities for you to get to know you and most importantly find out what you really want to accomplish on your journey. Oftentimes we  tend to put everyone else before our own self-care. This is unhealthy behavior. When you first begin your journey in self-reflection it's very scary. This is the time when you are forced to deal with yourself in an intimate manner and these are the time you may find out some things about yourself that you don't like. You are forced to deal with the person  in the mirror and oftentimes it not a pretty sight. However the more you practice the better it gets. You begin to fix the things about yourself that are displeasing. You begin to use this new found knowledge to gravitate you towards peace of mind in all areas of your life.  Self-reflection also has a great deal to do with you being emotionally capable of holding a leadership position or maintaining a healthy relationship. In order to maintain a balanced relationship with others the relationship we have with ourselves must be in good condition. Self-reflecting will allow this to take place   with a natural and spiritual approach. Self-reflecting gives us the perfect opportunity to own both our personality traits as well as our leadership traits. When you are able to recognize your own traits you are better equipped to effectively handle your relationships with others in both your personal and professional life. You must always be cognizant of the fact  that you are the common denominator  in a both your personal and professional relationships and daily self-reflecting will allow you to keep all of your relationships from becoming toxic. As you embark upon the journey of self-reflection you will learn to let go of all your inhibitions and start your journey to peace and happiness for many years to come.
