Why Is Self-Reflection Important?

It can give you perspective
Self-reflection can allow you to take a step back, engage in introspection, and gain perspective on what really matters to you. As a result you can make better decisions about pursuing goals in your life that suit your needs and interests.

It can help you respond more effectively
When we better understand who we are and why we do the things we do, we can more easily make changes that allow us to respond to circumstances in more effective ways. Hopefully, this can keep us from saying and doing things we regret.

It helps us better understand ourselves and possibly others
Self-reflection can help you get to know who you truly are. As a result you can find yourself , pursue your purpose more easily, and be more authentic.
