Self-reflection
Throughout life everyone has moments of self-reflecting; times
they take to themselves to connect back to themselves, level up, learn more
about themselves, be more comfortable with themselves, depend on themselves
emotionally, shut the world out, and/or get closer to God. Everyone has their
own reason to self-reflect. During this time that person may not connect with
people like they normally would, might not post on social media that often, and
might wait to see who reaches out to them. Often times the person realizes a
lot of people aren't there for them or thinking of them as much as they are.
This may hurt and this time in your life may be painful but everyone needs to
go through it. You may normally be an outgoing person and extrovert but there
may be situations or circumstances in your life causing you to be otherwise.
Everyone has to learn who they are. The older you get the more things about
yourself you need to learn. To know ourselves is to be one with ourselves and
to never second guess anything about ourselves. This gives us confidence we
need to shut out the opinions and comments of others. No one is perfect but we
are perfect in God's eyes. God is the only being we need to answer to. God is
always there when we call on him to love us when we don't have the courage to
love ourselves.
People often use the time of self-reflection to connect back to
themselves. Often, we stretch ourselves to be there for others; doing this, we
may forgot or neglect ourselves. We may have also disconnected from ourselves
all together. If this happens we can feel really lost and perhaps struggle to
find our way back. By connecting back to ourselves, we prove to ourselves that
we are just important as everyone else.
Self-reflections equals self-improvement. We sometimes have to
isolate ourselves to get to the next level in life. Improvement requires
changes and sometimes those changes are drastic. The way we respond to change
in our lives can make or break us. Change is inevitable and is required to reach
the next level. It is in everyone's best interest to get use to it, especially
if we want to be successful and reach our goals.
Self-reflection often involves learning more about ourselves. As
human beings, we are forever changing. It is important that we learn ourselves.
If you know yourself, the less things we have to put ourselves through. If we
know that we can't tolerate certain behaviors from certain people in our lives,
we just won't put up with it. We won't have to go through the motions with
someone who is wasting our time. Once we know ourselves, we have a better
chance of knowing who is for us and who is not.
Self-reflection can involve becoming comfortable with and depending
on ourselves. This also involves becoming comfortable with being alone and the
way that we are. People won’t always be around to make us laugh and comfort us.
We have to be able to comfort ourselves by looking within ourselves and finding
that thing within us that helps us feel better. Social media plays a big role
in us constantly comparing and judging ourselves based on false images and
situations. People only post on social media the positives of life and often
neglects their lows.
When we self-reflect we often shut the world out. Shutting the
world out is not always a good thing. Shutting the world out for too long can
lead to depression. Shutting the world out for a moment may be needed. A lot of
bad things happen in the world that we can’t do anything about. Hearing about
bad things in the world can affect us more than we think. Shutting the world out can help us block out the negative for
just a moment and focus on ourselves and our goals.
Some of us use
times of self-reflection to get closer to God. Though God is always there,
often times we ignore the signs that he tries to sends us to show us we are on
the right path or that he loves us and is there for us every step of the way.
God may be the only being we have to turn to in our times of turmoil and
discomfort. The love of God concurs all. Talking to God, seeking God, and
praying to God is our ultimate answer for comfort and love.
