Do you practice self-reflection? Defined, self-reflection is careful thought about your own behavior and beliefs. This isn’t necessarily an easy feat as it requires strength, compassion, and courage to do so. Sometimes we may uncover things that we aren’t so proud of or low points in our journey. Other times we may surprise ourselves by what we’ve accomplished or overcome.

For me, I know major changing points in my life have been times when I’ve been told no or doubted. All it takes is for someone to tell me that I can’t do something and I’m off to prove them wrong and of course prove to myself that I can. Self-reflection allows you to uncover what has worked for you and what hasn’t. It’s all too easy to get caught up in the whirlwind of life and not take time for yourself. This is really the only way to know if we are going in the right direction.

If you’re ready to have a self-reflection session, I would recommend at least an hour of time somewhere quiet and in a space where you feel comfortable. Grab your favorite drink, a notebook, pen and you’re ready. Some nice, soft soothing music may also be helpful.

Here are some questions to get you started on your self-reflection:

2. Am I the person I want to be?

3. What are the contributing factors throughout my life that brought me to where I am today?

4. Am I a victim or victor? Am I taking charge of my life or letting outside circumstances control me?

5. Am I living up to my potential?

6. Is where I am now, where I want to be?

*If so, how did I get here, what did it take? If not, what do I need to do to change my direction?

*How has this made me into the person I am today?

8. Where am I going?

12. What are my strengths? What do I do well?

13. What are my weaknesses?

*For each weakness, write how you can work on them, even it’s simple, small steps.
