What did we do today? What went well, what went wrong and what could have been improved? Spending just 5 minutes asking these questions can give a new direction and shape to our life.
Self-review is a simple but powerful habit that makes us emotionally strong, improves decision-making ability and helps control harmful habits.
Why is such a review important?
People who review their activities throughout the day before going to bed are emotionally strong. Their way of thinking and decision-making is strong. They are able to control their weaknesses and bad habits.
The book 'The Road Back to You' written by Ian Morgan Brown and Susan Stabile emphasizes this. This book teaches the importance of self-awareness and self-review. According to the book, every day becomes the past, but if we do not learn anything from it, we will continue to be trapped in the same cycle of mistakes.
Self-review is a mirror of our mind, which enables us to deeply understand our mistakes, good deeds and thoughts.
Easy and effective
Self-review is not a very difficult process, if you take just a few minutes for yourself before going to sleep, it becomes easy and effective. The only thing to keep in mind is that along with review, you should also see the scope of improvement in yourself.
The great people of the world have also done self-review. American writer Elisa Romeo also recommends it.
How to do self-review?
Self-review means reflecting on your thoughts, feelings and actions throughout the day and correcting them if they are wrong.
1. Choose a quiet corner of the room:
If you want to try it in the evening, it is advisable to sit in a place where no one disturbs you. Mobile, TV, communication devices should be turned off. The more peace and solitude there is, the easier this task will be.
2. Ask yourself questions:
The best way to introspect is to ask yourself some questions and answer them honestly.
3. Think and write down the answers:
If you have a habit of writing a diary, then this task can be even easier. If you do not write, it is also okay. Ask questions in your mind and think about the answers. While reviewing, you should speak from the heart, not pretend.
4. Do not do injustice to yourself:
There is no need to suddenly worry if you make a mistake. We are all human beings, not machines. Everyone makes mistakes. We should try to learn from mistakes. The purpose of introspection is to understand yourself, not to curse yourself.
5. Improve gradually:
Your entire life does not change overnight. Small improvements every day are enough for this. Try to become 1 percent better every day. Gradually everything will change.
Don't make these mistakes:
The purpose of self-review is to improve yourself, not to judge yourself. While doing this many people become too harsh, start comparing themselves with others or keep finding their mistakes in everything.
By doing this, instead of making life easier, self-review becomes a burden:
1. Don't let self-review dominate.
2. There is a subtle difference between self-review and overthinking. Some people tire themselves out by repeating old things again and again without realizing that they are doing self-review.
3. Self-review leads to solutions, while overthinking creates confusion.
4. Don't focus only on your weaknesses. You should remember all the good things you did throughout the day. This will become your motivation.
5. Do not make self-review a burden, it is not a forced habit. It should be done only when the mind is calm.
6. Do not stress yourself by thinking too much. It is not necessary to get the answer to every question in a single day. Some things take time.
7. Never compare yourself with others. Because everyone's life, challenges and pace are different.
