Self-Reflection is a way of knowing thyself. It's like a mirror where we can see us, what we are doing, thinking and planning. Self-Reflection has a direct connection with our mental wellness. It needs lots of practice to be self-aware but it's not impossible. We live a very busy life and giving that much time to practice these are more or less hard for us. But we can include this in our daily life. We just need a quiet and calm mind to do that, I guess.

For me, Self-Reflection is a question-answer session with our mind. If we can do that very often, we can get an answer to our actions from thyself. Let me give some example. Sometimes we react unexpectedly like if we see our best friend with someone else, it hurts and we react differently. Sometimes, we even create an awkward situation. We can prevent ourselves from repeating this type of event by practicing Self-Reflection. Ask yourself why you behave that way, what makes you feel bad, what can you do instead in this type of situation.

How can we get benefits from Self-Reflection?

• We can use Self-Reflection as a tool to change and improve ourselves.

• As Self-Reflection needs a calm mind, so usually it can help us to be gentle with ourselves.

• Self-Reflection can always make us self-aware and help us find who we are, what we truly want.
