Your life is a direct product of your actions, beliefs, and attitudes which makes you directly responsible for everything that happens in your life. You live the life you chose to and the control may not seem direct, but in the long run you do have the power to direct your life in a specific direction. It happens with the choices you make and the attitudes you show against the adversities as well as the self-belief that you carry within you.
The key to success in living your life is self-reflection. Self-reflection is cited as the most important factor in attaining success by experts and spiritual. This is true for all the people are living a fulfilled and happy life.
Following are the 5 reasons you should self-reflect and lead a more fulfilling and a happy life:
Understanding of your own self:
When you self-reflect, you understand yourself at a deeper level. When you become aware of your weaknesses, you put more effort to improve and develop those areas of your personality. Becoming aware of the shortfalls compels you to have a strong sense of self-improvement,
Get a clearer vision:
Self-reflection helps you to get a clear vision of what you are moving towards. When you feel stuck, all you need to do is step back and gain a new perspective. You can pay attention to every minor detail and then understand what the whole concept is and what you need to do.
Allows you to avoid reacting immediately:
When you practice self-reflection, it gives you the time to wait before addressing something. You think about the potential ramifications of your actions and take stock of your feelings and emotions. This stops you from saying or doing something which you may regret later.
Better able to retain and recall information:
Studies have proved that when you self-reflect, you are better able to get a deeper level of learning and understanding. Even few minutes of self-reflection to integrate and think about what you have learned, can make a critical difference in your life.
Gives you more confidence:
Once you get a better understanding of your own thoughts and emotions, you understand what is working and what’s not. This will help you to think about your decisions and improve them. When you will see your decisions working, you will gain confidence and have more knowledge as compared to others.
