However, there are legitimate downsides we’ve all likely experienced. There are certainly great benefits to it. Let’s be clear this piece is not intended to portray our modern advancement as a negative. Just because you engage in self-reflection doesn’t mean the world will change or problems will go away, but it can certainly help in your ability to manage said problems and stay true to what brings you fulfillment in life. It can help us stay grounded and sharpen our ability not to lose perspective. In times like these, in particular, self-reflection can be a great friend to us. The air of uncertainty combined with what seems to be growing polarization and hostility has placed a lot on us personally and societally. Over the last year and a half, we’ve all likely felt like we’ve been carrying extra weight around. We start with a somewhat obvious one: the present state of society. With that being said, let’s dive into the reasons why self-reflection is more vital than it’s ever been.Ĭovid & the Climate of Uncertainty and Hostility A trap that convinces us that the answers we need to the hardest questions are out in the world for us to find, rather than within ourselves waiting to be unveiled. But within this environment can lie a trap. Today’s world is more advanced than it’s ever been and constantly reminds us of what’s out there and available to us. And for those unfamiliar, you’ll find that with that understanding comes empowerment and clarity that simply cannot be captured otherwise. The idea of self-reflection is to gain a more profound, rawer understanding of yourself. It’s about going beyond the surface level to find the “why” behind these elements of ourselves and the experiences we have. In the simplest terms, self-reflection is setting time aside to evaluate and give serious thought to your emotions, behavior, motivation, thoughts, perspective, and desires. In the following, we’ll take a look at what self-reflection is, why we all need it now more than ever, and the value it can bring into our lives. Yet, it’s that abundance that makes self-reflection all the more essential right now.
#SELF REFLECTION FULL#
How many of us genuinely self-reflect consistently? And how could we? Why should we? Today’s world is full of information, activity, and resources it’s hard to find the time or sufficient justification for why self-reflection is needed in the first place. But generally, self-reflection exists more as a concept that’s understood in theory rather than in practice. We’ve all heard of self-reflection, and I’d wager most of us would feel comfortable defining it.
