Importance of Self-Reflection
Have you check-in with yourself today?
Did you check out my latest Real Talk with Bri video on Instagram? In the session, I spoke about how important it is to self-reflect on your emotions when things become chaotic in a conversation.
Today, we will list some benefits of self-reflection and why it is imperative to communicate effectively in relationships.
Allows you to gain a different perspective
Provides a space to see how you treat others
You can become more aware of your feelings and emotions
Acknowledge triggers that are holding you back
Find your inner peace
Unfortunately, when we communicate, we only see our perspective versus the facts of the conversation. When we sit back and analyze the entire scenario, we find improvements within ourselves while also finding peace.
Remember, self-reflection is a tool to help make ourselves better. To change the world around us, we have to start with ourselves. Healing can be ugly at times, but it gives you strength and character as you grow mentally.
“Our self-image, strongly held, essentially determines what we become.”
