For the avoidance of doubt... Yes... I definitely have an opinion... |
| Prompt: How do you approach self reflection and how has it impacted your understanding of life? *** I have always been pretty good at self-reflection. I usually know when I'm in the wrong or right. When I should apologise for something or stand my ground. My stubborn streak means that sometimes I dig me heels in a little too far and for a little too long, but I still know that I will/should eventually relent (or not). Time is a great tool in self-reflection. Perspective and experience often go hand in hand. As does being willing to listen to the advice and views of others. Sometimes that means listening to harsh truths or hearing things I don't want to hear. Time helps to process all of that. Sitting still and making space to process things is important, because I can't take back my actions - I just have to weather the fall out. And as someone who is reactionary (thanks mum) and who has a short fuse (thanks again mum), it is a lesson that I have learnt and had reinforced time and time again. It is a case of picking my battles and being honest with myself. Because I cannot lie to myself, at least not forever. I am the one that has to live inside my head... live with myself. That being said it can be hard to be entirely honest with oneself all the time. No one likes to be under a microscope or to look too closely in the mirror. You inevitably find cracks and imperfections - I just happen to like my imperfections and flaws. I find them character building. Self-reflection allows me to grow and improve as a person as well as in my capabilities. It challenges me to do better and push myself to new heights. |
