For the past couple of weeks I have been giving myself five minutes at the end of the day for reflection. This period of reflection, whether be it in the form of meditation, or writing my feelings during the day on a bit of paper, has helped me tremendously in understanding myself. I was able to ask myself questions to whether my actions were necessary ones, or were they pretty much useless…and even detrimental.
I have realised that there is lots of room for improvement. I admit, there is a habit of telling myself that everything is ok, and making excuses when anything that has gone wrong has been because of everything and anything else but me. I give credit to this realisation to Abhyas Varg two and specifically the talk with Sachinji Nanda. Before, if I did any self-reflection, I would still make up those same excuses for why I didn’t write my blog, or visit a community. But since that abhyas varg, I have really been able to “watch my thoughts” and really analyse them… Geez it made me feel like crap at times, knowing that one day, or at one specific moment I really “messed up”. But this whole self-reflection business isn’t just to give yourself a pat on the back, or a telling off. It’s about “self-refinement” or in some cases, self- major development.
You have probably heard this a lot, but I really recommend giving yourself sometime to reflect on your actions, and then think about how the situation could have gotten better. Try it. Even if you’re unable to change that “habit” for example, at least you can admit there IS room for improvement. The only journey is the journey within.
