“Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom.” – Aristotle
Self reflection is something I have always done. What I had to learn though is that self reflection doesn’t require negative thinking. If you had a good day and you made good, smart, healthy choices, you don’t need to nitpick and find something to correct. Accepting that an OK day is okay was a huge part of my healing journey. Society makes you think you have to dig deep and find something you did wrong, even when you did everything right, and we just don’t need to do that all the time.
Don’t get me wrong, holding yourself accountable to your own dreams and values is important. Self correction is important. I’m not saying ditch self correction completely. I’m saying to let yourself have days where you did ok.
