Look in the Mirror: I know me

Every morning I get up. I brush my teeth, wash my face, brush my, hair and pause to look in the mirror. I see the gray hair in my beard. Yep there’s one more. I look at myself. When it comes to self reflection people, or at least l would say. “I know me”, or “Can’t nobody tell me about me.” Well, that’s what we say. But do we really know and understand ourselves? Most of our external issues stem from internal conflicts. Let’s talk about looking in the mirror. Here’s a quick discussion on self reflection.

Self reflection is an ongoing process. It should not be a problem. It is designed to enhance personal growth. As an educator during our regular evaluations we would be prompted to ask, “How do we rate ourselves?” Even in other jobs they would ask that. Be honest, how l would you rate yourself? Is it good, is it flawless? Is there room for improvement? My mother would always say “There’s always room for improvement.”

Look in the Mirror

1. Create an oasis: Make a space for self reflection. It can be your room, an office, at the park. A place where you can sit down and think.

2. Create an idea: Take some notes and write your thoughts down. Write it in a journal. Write down your views, emotions, and even the things you are worried about. Because if we are honest with ourselves, we do get worried sometimes.

3. Create a time: It can be in the morning or late are night. I usually do a lot of my research and study. It’s late at night, when the entire house is asleep. This is when I can go through my thoughts and new ideas uninterrupted. Try it

4. Create an inquiry: Ask yourself questions, and try to be inquisitive about yourself. Ask yourself the hard questions. The ones you know other people may not ask but you are the brave one to do so. Why do you feel this way? What makes you feel uneasy or even unworthy?

Once you’re done set goals, get out of the mirror, and move forward. Be grateful for who you are and what you’ve accomplished so far. Keep going and be encouraged. Check back with your journal to see the growth and progress!! Talk to you later.
