Introspection is a way to analyze one’s self and their internal feelings to ensure that they are following the right direction in life. This is an important aspect of one’s life and should be given importance to ensure life in a safe and healthy environment.
A person who is constantly reflecting on their feelings and does not have a strong hold on their external environment can end up having trouble with expressing themselves, not being able to talk about their feelings, and it becomes hard for them to maintain relationships with other people.
Introspection also helps a human understand who they are and self-analyze themselves for a better tomorrow. The human mind is known to think around 50,000 thoughts every single day, and 90% of these thoughts are recurring thoughts from the previous day. If most of these thoughts are negative and can not be controlled, they should be analyzed by the human being to be transformed into more positive ones to help deal with situations they might face daily. Many people might not think that intersection is important, but using this trait as a way to evolve and develop can help people become better versions of themselves. This can also help them know who they are as a person and tap into their spiritual potential. A simple way to understand our spiritual being is through reading books such as THE KEY: UNLOCKING THE MYSTERY OF OUR IMMENSE HUMAN POTENTIAL by Gayle Crosby. This book bases focus on how important the existence of a human in this finite world is. It helps a human understand why and how they can change their life and take control of their inner beings to ensure a better and more peaceful life. To understand and build confidence in one’s self they should spiritually evolve themselves. This can be done by tapping into their cognitive patterns.
Introspection helps a person grow with a more positive outlook on life. However, this can turn detrimental if not done right. People can start being extremely self-deprecating if they start obsessing with introspection. This is supposed to be an outlook on your daily life and not an obsession since there might come a time when a person will start to justify their behavior instead of fixing it. The human mind is actually very clever when it comes to manipulating the human into thinking what they are doing is right and does not need any justification. It can also be detrimental to one’s health if one begins to question “why” instead of what. Consistency in asking “why” questions will not be a good option for growth and can often hinder growth and start a pattern of self-obsession and justified selfish behavior. In certain situations, dismissive questions can also bring out feelings of depression, hatred m, and anxiety. Try to avoid this as much as possible.
Questions such as these can be helpful in introspective sessions.
Am I spending my time on the right things?
Am I treating people around me right?
Was I dismissive of someone’s feelings today?
Did I take time for myself today?
Was I dismissive of myself?
Was I happy to work through today?
Am I putting effort into my relationships?
Did I physically take care of myself today?
Questions such as these help people understand their day in a small talk session with themself. There are a thousand more questions they can ask themselves to help be better.
