9 QUESTIONS FOR DEEP REFLECTIVE WORK ON YOURSELF

Self-reflection is an important process that allows us to learn about ourselves and grow as individuals. Taking the time to reflect on our coping mechanisms, pet peeves, constant stress triggers, negative behavioral patterns, self-talk, negative reminders, fears, limiting beliefs, obstacles, and challenges can help us gain insights into our own behaviour and thought patterns. Here are nine questions to help guide you through this process:

1. What coping mechanisms do I use when I am faced with challenges or stress?
2. What are my pet peeves? Why do they bother me so much?
3. What are the constant stress triggers in my life?
4. What negative behavioral patterns do I have?
5. How do I speak or think about myself? Are my self-talk and thoughts positive or negative?
6. What are my most negative constant reminders?
7. What are my greatest fears? What is the root cause of these fears?
8. What are the beliefs that are holding me back from reaching?
9. What obstacles and challenges do I face in my life right now?

Now…attend to each answer and ask yourself “what are you already doing to make this better?”

Self-reflection can be challenging and uncomfortable at times, but it is a necessary process for personal growth and development. By answering these questions, you can gain a deeper understanding of yourself, your behaviours, and your thought patterns. With this knowledge, you can make positive changes and take steps towards living a more fulfilling and satisfying life.
