Self-Reflection Is Good For The Soul

When it comes to self-reflection it is good for the soul. Self-reflection consists of mediating or giving serious thought to one's character, actions, and motives. In self-reflection we take a deeper look into correcting our mistaken thoughts and actions and learn from them. Self-reflection is a way of fine tuning our minds like a needle point on a compass that redirects us not only mentally and emotionally but also spiritually. There are challenges that we face daily in and around us in this world. It is important that we take the time out and reflect and get back in tune with ourselves but also with God. Sometimes we lose track of ourselves by trying to fit in with others, trying to be a people pleaser, and so on. But we have to come back and consider is what I'm doing or saying pleasing to God and if not then why am I doing or saying such things. Yes, the devil will use people or things that can cause us to get distracted or lose focus but we can't give in to that. Just because someone was rude or mean to you doesn't mean you have to be rude right back. Of course, your initial reaction is to tell them off and cruse them right out but you don't know what storm or circumstance that person is currently going through. We have to be mindful of how we interact and speak to people because you never know they can be an angel in disguise. Also, I've learned and read that God does test us to see if we will stand and do the right thing and be spirit led or fall into the temptation of our flesh taking over. Whatever the outcome of the test he may give to us....God still loves us!!!

There is power in self-reflection when we can look and learn from our past and let go of any attachments that may be hindering us from moving forward. It is important that we learn to incorporate time alone or mediation in order to reconnect with ourselves and reconnect with God. If we can make time and put forth an effort for anything else then we can set aside some time alone for ourselves and God.




Be Blessed
