Have you ever stopped to think how your mind works? Have you ever revisited your past and understood how it connects to your present? Have you acknowledged the patterns that repeat in your life without you even realizing it?
Well, if you HAVE done that (at least once in your life), it means that you’re familiar with this post’s topic. Today, we’ll talk about self-reflection and give you a few tips on how to do it.
Imagine this:
Self-reflection, just like the words you say, is kind of like the mirror through which you can see yourself. Without that mirror, all you can do is take into account other people’s opinions about you – and let’s face it, sometimes that’s a trap. Hearing other’s opinions about you might be useful sometimes, but it depends on who these people are. Even so, what REALLY matters is how you feel about yourself. When you describe what you see in yourself (which, if made in an honest way, can be WAY more efficient than listening to a parcial opinion of someone who might not even know you that well), you’re one step closer to achieving a better version of YOU.
For that to happen, you need to go within. Look inside. Observe. Without an impartial observation, there’s no self-reflection. The whole purpose here is to identify what kind of actions you usually take, how well you meet your goals, how much progress you’ve made as a person, and what skills you need to develop.
6 questions to ask yourself
To help you think about that, we’ve separated 6 important questions you should ask yourself in order to help in this journey. Here they are:
What are my mental strengths?
What are my weaknesses?
What are my best skills?
What skills could I develop?
What have I achieved?
What do I want to achieve?
Of course, these questions will help you a lot more if you turn this into a habit. On a weekly basis, we recommend you try asking yourself these questions and writing down your own conclusions.

Quarantine is definitely showing us that self isolation is one of the most difficult things in life. All those little things we took for granted seem so much greater now that we can’t have them, right?Staying productive is still extremely important. BUT you shouldn’t be productive just for productive sake. It’s pointless to be productive …
Let’s face it. You can’t have everything at the same time. It’s physically impossible and extremely improbable. Everybody has gone through this before: being so overwhelmed with the amount of things that we cannot do or cannot have, letting it frustrate you. And, with no exception, the instant you start to think about those things, …
COVID-19 has changed everyone’s reality and denying it won’t make it better. What we need to do right now is face the problem and try our best to deal with it in a mature and effective way. Even though it’s pretty hard to have mental clarity right now, you can still achieve your goals – …
Some people may find it pointless to spend time with self-care – after all, time is all about money, money, money – but we believe that taking care of your body and soul can actually help with your productivity instead of only getting in the way.
