Self-Reflection: A Journey to Inner Peace
In the past, I found myself pouring all my energy into work, family, and studies, leaving little time for personal reflection. This relentless pace led me to suppress my emotions, ultimately finding solace in unhealthy habits.
When we lead busy lives without taking moments to appreciate our journeys, we can start to feel adrift, overwhelmed, and even discontented.
Not long ago, a wonderful client broke down in tears during our session. She had been striving to build her online business for months but saw no progress. In her frustration, she began comparing herself to her husband, who was thriving in his business endeavors. This comparison only deepened her sense of inadequacy, culminating in her emotional release.
Seeing someone cry can be a sign of profound care and an impending breakthrough. I suggested a simple exercise: to take a day off from “doing” and focus on “being.” You can try this exercise too, and I assure you, it will shift your perspective by the end.
The following day, my client was filled with joy and gratitude, thanks to this straightforward yet impactful exercise. Within a week, she attracted three new clients, generating an impressive $7,000 in revenue. Isn’t that fantastic?
Now, you might wonder, what is this transformative exercise?
All you need is a pen and paper. Light a candle or diffuse your favorite essential oil, slip into your comfiest clothes, and wrap yourself in a soft blanket.
Begin by writing down 100 things you appreciate about yourself, including your passions, the people you cherish, and what brings you joy. Don’t stop until you reach 100!
Many people find it challenging to list more than 20-30 items at once, and that’s perfectly fine. Take your time, relish the process, and uncover the little joys in your life.
For instance:
- I cherish my energy.
- I admire my enthusiasm.
- I appreciate my determination.
- I value my generous nature.
- I take pride in my wisdom.
- I love dancing to my favorite songs.
- I treasure the morning coffee my daughter surprises me with.
- I enjoy hearing that my energy is infectious.
- I find joy in the changing colors of the sunset.
- I relish the flow of writing where time seems to disappear.
You get the idea! Let your thoughts flow freely; whatever comes to mind is valid.
Once you complete this exercise, I would love to hear how it made you feel in the comments!
Much love, my friend! ❤️
