The ability to witness and evaluate one's own cognitive, emotional, and behavioural processes. In psychology, other terms used for this self-observation include "reflective awareness" and "reflective consciousness", which originate from the work of William James.

I take some time twice a month to look into myself and reflect on how I feel. I like exploring parts of myself that are hidden away or parts of myself I don’t like. I feel better after doing some self-reflection, and I suggest it to others. 

  1. What did my childhood me need the most?

  2. What am I avoiding?

  3. What am I addicte to?

  4. What secrets am I hiding and why?

  5. Am I being honest with myself and others? 

  6. What are my biggest misconceptions of myself?

  7. What are my biggest fears?

  8. What do I need to let go of?
