Engage in ongoing selfreflection from "summary" of Unfuck Your Brain by Faith G. Harper, PhD, LPC-S, ACS, ACN
Engaging in ongoing self-reflection means taking the time to look at yourself and your life with curiosity and honesty. It means being willing to ask yourself tough questions and examine your thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors without judgment. Self-reflection is not about beating yourself up or dwelling on mistakes; it's about understanding yourself better so you can make positive changes in your life. Self-reflection is an ongoing process, not a one-time event. It's something you do regularly, like brushing your teeth or going for a run. By taking the time to reflect on your thoughts and actions, you can gain insight into why you do the things you do and how you can make changes for the better. Self-reflection helps you become more self-aware, which is the first step toward personal growth and transformation. Self-reflection can take many forms. You might journal about your thoughts and feelings, meditate on a particular issue, or simply take a few minutes each day to think about how you're feeling and what's been going on in your life. The key is to make self-reflection a regular part of your routine so you can continue to learn and grow. It's important to approach self-reflection with an open mind and a willingness to be vulnerable. This means being honest with yourself even when it's uncomfortable, and being open to exploring aspects of yourself that you may not like or understand. Remember, self-reflection is not about being perfect; it's about being real. By engaging in ongoing self-reflection, you can gain a deeper understanding of yourself and your life. You can identify patterns in your behavior, uncover limiting beliefs, and make meaningful changes that lead to a more fulfilling and authentic life. Self-reflection is a powerful tool for personal growth and transformation, so make it a priority in your life.
