I found this a very insightful and informative article. In today’s fast paced environment it can be very hard to make time to be “calm” and “self-reflective”. I find that when I ride my bike over quite long distances I will often self-evaluate . I find it challenging and rewarding to assess my thoughts, feelings and actions, often asking myself at a deeper level why it is I say and do the things I do. By having this insight I feel that I work every day to become a better human being. It can be a challenge at times and I am sure it is a life long journey of self-discovery, however self-reflection helps one to develop a more in-depth understanding of themselves and their fellow human beings.

Thank you very much for a very insightful article… I been writing journal since i was a little girl and i made this as a habit. It is true, it made me grounded. I do reflect most of the time and it helps me to be more focus in attaining my goals in life…

Unfortunately, we lie to ourselves to reach the goal; Self-Reflection, we need to be more honest in our quest to reach self-reflection.

You definitely have to be truthful, I feel like if you can’t do that, then for sure you are not going to improve yourself.

Before I could finish reading the article I found myself doing some quality thinking. This is a useful article. I will read and re-read. I am making reflection a daily activity as one of my goals for 2011. Stay blessed.

Brain, you mention an interesting point. In fact since I started this blog my personal journal sees less writing from me. You could say that I don’t use the time, but I don’t feel the need to do it in such detail (at least once a day in the past) now. This is because a lot of my writing and reflecting flows directly into the blog-posts. The recent posts get more personal in the way that this is really on my mind, than the posts when I started. Anyways writing seems to be a major way to get clarity with oneself.

Myrko,

I spent some time today reflecting on myself and posting in my blog. Although it was more or a “I shoulda…” post, I think the princilpes you bring up were used. Evelyn’s idea of asking why she is feeling are a certain way is a good starting point for me too. I find that writing my feelings and thoughts online has become a welcomed outlet.

Keep up the good work!

Very useful article. Now I am in similar processes of trying to realize what do I want and how to achieve it. I have signed my resignation letter as a firts step….we’ll see where will it lead me to.

Andy, “Why” enables us to get the the core of a topic, to find the real reason behind something on the surface. As you pointed out, the “How to improve?” is the perfect follow-up then!

Asking the right questions is very powerful, as you write on your blog :) I remember Tony Robbins also talking about the Power of Questions…

Hi,

I’m with Evelyn. Despite being a major advocate of empowering questions, sometimes “why” questions can be useful…. but only if we know we can quickly turn them into “how” questions very quickly. A “why” can highlight a specific problem, giving you the opportunity to ask a very specific “how”, which might help to provide quite focused and powerful answers.

Great post,

Andy

Evelyn, that’s a good point. I think self-reflection is ultimately about really understanding ourselves and our environment and then having the power to go into the right direction from there. So self-reflection is about creating clarity and living from there.
I think creating clarity is really asking why followed by understanding. Then – not stopping on why – moving to how.

So I guess asking why is really more relevant than I pointed out in the article. Thanks for this addition! :)
