“When you find no solution to a problem, it’s probably not a problem to be solved, but rather a truth to be accepted”

We need a regular reflective practice for our mental and emotional well-being. A few minutes of quiet time, away from all external disturbances like social media or electronic gadgets, when we can connect with our inner being.

We generally have over 60,000-80,000 thoughts in a day. Moments of solitude allow us to slow down this pace of mental activity. As we learn to observe our recurring thought patterns, we also begin to see the futility of many of our thoughts that usually preoccupy us.

Building our reflective capacity strengthens our emotional equilibrium. We are then less easily affected by the daily ups and downs of life. We also become more thoughtful and less reactive in our responses.

What is self-reflection? Why we need it?

Self-reflection is a Self-meditation or reflect on own thoughts, beliefs and assumptions.

Self-reflection is better understanding oneself. When you spare some time out of your daily busy schedule for solitude then you can reflect better about the life. Seating completely in silence and reflect on values, belief and assumptions I have endorsed.

Self-realization is awareness about oneself .Knowing yourself better way so that you can utilize all your potential in constructive ways. Try to understand your own nature and compare it with the moral values. Are you feeling loved, happy and joyful? What holding you back from happiness and peace?

Self-reflection will help you to understand difference between delusional life which everyone is running behind and the ultimate truth of life. After reflection you understand and overcome the real causes of suffering and pain in your life.

Everything start and ends with oneself .No one can help you rather than you yourself. Even external positivity will not impact you unless and until you make necessary changes within yourself.

You have to change yourself if you want to change your life. We don’t have control over outer world but we do have power to change our inner world. Self-reflection will help you to introspect yourself and make necessary changes in your attitude and perspectives.

No one have power to hurt you but your own thoughts make you feel bad or good, When someone abuse you then that abusive words directly don’t hurt you ,but when you bring thoughts and emotions to that words then you will start feeling bad or you get hurt.

We always blame others for not meeting with expectations but we really need Self-reflection to realize what’s going on wrong? Once you start reflecting then you will realize that I have to change my behavior or assumptions.

You have to detach yourself from emotions and feelings which have conditioned by your mind. New outlook needs to bring in your life to make changes in life.
