With all the cosmic chaotic distractions and self made diversions pulling focus, one may find it hard to remember who they are and what are they doing.
Technology, created to make life easy instead keeps jerking at us and tossing our mind into that strange and crazy ever changing dimension of absurdity. What is good or popular one day fades away into something else to learn and digest of which most is pointless and trivial.
How many know all about the latest pop culture, religion and political strife but nothing about themselves?
Instead of being preoccupied with the outside world, maybe take some of that wastefulness of time to introduce yourself to yourself employing introspection and self-reflection and become self-aware.
Self-reflection can be a complex and multi-faceted process that involves exploring one’s thoughts, emotions, and behaviors in order to gain a deeper understanding of oneself. It can involve examining one’s beliefs, values, goals, and motivations, as well as one’s relationships with others and the broader world.
Self-reflection can occur on different levels of depth, depending on the individual and the context. At its most basic level, self-reflection may involve simply recognizing and acknowledging one’s thoughts and feelings. At a deeper level, it may involve questioning one’s assumptions and beliefs, examining one’s past experiences, and considering how they have shaped one’s identity and worldview.
Ultimately, the depth of self-reflection depends on the individual’s willingness to engage in the process and their ability to be open and honest with themselves. It can be a challenging and uncomfortable process, as it may involve confronting difficult emotions or aspects of oneself that one would rather avoid. However, it can also be a valuable tool for personal growth and development, and can lead to greater self-awareness and understanding.
Self-awareness is considered a key component of emotional intelligence, which is the ability to perceive, understand, and manage one’s own emotions and those of others. It is also a critical skill for leadership, as effective leaders must be able to understand and manage their own emotions, before trying to understand others.
It involves introspection, reflection, and self-examination to gain a deeper understanding of oneself.
Self-awareness can be developed through various practices, such as mindfulness meditation, journaling, therapy, and feedback from others. By becoming more self-aware, individuals can gain a better understanding of their strengths, weaknesses, values, and goals, which can lead to improved decision-making, better relationships, and greater personal and professional success.
Stop looking out so much and take a journey inward and explore. You will surprise yourself.
