Take time to reflect on your own behavior from "summary" of The Dance of Connection by Harriet Lerner

Reflecting on our own behavior is a crucial aspect of any relationship. It involves taking the time to step back and examine our actions, reactions, and patterns of behavior. This process allows us to gain insight into how we are contributing to the dynamics of a relationship. It also enables us to take responsibility for our part in any conflicts or misunderstandings that may arise. When we take the time to reflect on our behavior, we are better able to understand our motivations and intentions. This self-awareness is essential for effective communication and conflict resolution. It helps us to recognize our own triggers and vulnerabilities, as well as our strengths and limitations. By acknowledging these aspects of ourselves, we can make more conscious choices about how we interact with others. Reflecting on our behavior also allows us to identify any patterns or habits that may be causing harm in our relationships. It gives us the opportunity to consider how our words and actions impact others, and to make changes if necessary. This self-reflection requires honesty and humility, as we must be willing to admit when we have made mistakes or acted in ways that are hurtful. Furthermore, taking the time to reflect on our behavior demonstrates a commitment to personal growth and development. It shows that we are willing to learn from our experiences and strive to be the best version of ourselves. This willingness to engage in self-examination can create a more positive and fulfilling connection with others, as we become more attuned to our own emotions and behaviors.
