How Self-Reflection Gives You a Happier and More Successful Life
Self-Reflection Tips
- Grab a Journal: when you see something, you are able to process it in a different way.
- Schedule uninterrupted time where you have space, feel quiet and can focus.
- Join a group or find someone to do this with.
- Take the stance of a neutral observer. When you step back from a situation and view things as if you were a fly on the wall, it’s incredibly insightful.
- Meditate. Something powerful happens when you don’t ‘think’ about something. Things bubble up.

We see things differently
Two people can look at the exact same situation and see it completely differently.
We see life as we are, not as it is
There is no objective reality when it comes to people.
Facts may be facts, but our viewpoint and our vantage point impact our ability to process the facts. We look at life through our own personal filters, our own past experiences, beliefs, and paradigms.
Giving in relationships
If you do something for someone just because they did it for you or you want something back, you are doing business, not kindness.
If you choose to give 300 percent, then go for it, regardless of what others give you in return.
