Mag inusara sab anay panyagsa. By being with yourself, you can evaluate your days. Your pains can
become sources of your strength once you examine them well. You can even write
your feelings of disgust, dismay, your joys and appreciation and review them
later. These things are empowering.
Reflection is an
important part of the loop to go through in order to maximize the utility of
having experiences. Rather than moving on to the next ‘task’ we can review the
process and outcome of the task and – with the benefit of a little distance
(lapsed time) we can reconsider what the value of experience might be for us
and for the context it was part of.
Is self-reflection
correlated to a person’s intelligence?
Individuals that
have compelling self-awareness make better leaders, become more successful in
life, and achieve better satisfaction at what they experience in life than
those without it since they have a more profound comprehension of human
feelings and can think and resolve issues inventively and compassionately.
Therefore, self-awareness does make people fall in the bracket of intelligence
(Raypole, 2020).
In the bible,
Jesus was mentioned reflecting and praying a lot in quiet areas. Some
Christians have taken the position that self-reflection is too close to the
concept of Eastern meditation but that is not necessarily the case. Eastern
forms of meditation are designed to empty the mind, but Christian meditation
and self-reflection intend to bring you into a quiet place with God where you
can intimately converse with him about your experiences and emotions.
Kirkman (2019)
mentioned: Without creating the space to have this self-reflection and
communication with God, you will likely operate on autopilot, being driven by
values instilled by your culture, family of origin, and immediate community.
Intentional self-reflection is aimed at creating space for you to sit with God
and ask meaningful questions about life and your relationship with Him.
Let us not be
distracted with the noise surrounding us. Let us not be victimized by the
commercialism of our times that even during the Holy Week, the social media
pressure us to go on a vacation instead of going to church and reflect.
Kay sa aja da
kaw masipanhaud sa iban, kilay-a anay an imo kaugalingon.
