Special Thought – Stay patient and trust your journey.

Welcome back to Renew Inspiration! It has been two years since I stepped out on faith and created my Renew Inspiration blog. I stayed committed and focused throughout the year to post inspirational and uplifting blog posts. My ultimate goal was to inspire, encourage and motivate everyone who visits my webpage.

In addition, I’ve met so many awesome bloggers and authors along the way. There is so much to learn and share with one another in the blogging and writing community. I want to pause at this time to thank you for being supportive throughout my blogging journey!

On the other hand, have you ever just sat down in a quiet place and allowed yourself to think without interruption? This process is called self-reflection. It’s really important to spend quality time in self-reflection mode whether you have all your stuff together (you think) or you’re still trying to find your way (most of us).

DEFINE SELF-REFLECTION

Self-reflection is a humbling process. It’s essential to find out why you think, say, and do certain things…then better yourself. – Unknown Author

Before moving forward, I think it is important to understand what self-reflection is before you can commit to practicing it on a regular basis. Self-reflection can be defined as meditation or serious thought about one’s character, actions, and motives. To take it a step further, you must be willing to learn more about your fundamental nature, purpose, and essence of life.

Now, take a moment and look in a mirror. What do you see? You see a reflection of who you are on the outside. For example, you notice your physical facial features, the color of your skin, your hair color and style, etc. However, self-reflection is not only your outward appearance, but it is a way of assessing yourself deep within – mind, body, and spirit.

WAYS TO PRACTICE SELF-REFLECTION

My body is healthy, my mind is focused, my soul is calm. – Unknown Author

As you begin to practice self-reflection in your life, you will notice a shift in your mindset, an increase of positivity in your life, and discover a deeper connection within.

Here’s some healthy ways to practice self-reflection throughout your journey:

• Peaceful Walk in Nature – Calms your mind, body and spirit.

• Prayer and meditation – Take a moment to quiet your mind, read a scripture, pray, and meditate. Allow your mind, body, and spirit to only connect with God so you can hear His voice.

• Yoga and exercise – Every day is important to do some form of yoga and exercise. Movement gives you more energy and helps keep you healthy.

• Reading inspirational books – Reading keeps your brain healthy, but reading inspirational books also keeps you in a positive mood.

• Read Blogs and Inspirational Books from other Writers – Allows you to be supportive while gaining different perspectives and finding fresh thoughts/ideas.

• Reciting positive affirmations – Reciting positive affirmations will give you hope and encourage you to focus on your goals/dreams.

• Spend Time Researching and Brainstorming – Helps you learn new information; Knowledge is Power.

• Writing or journaling – Writing is a form of self-expression. Capture every moment of your life in a journal so you can pause to reflect on the good times and make changes to avoid bad situations.

• Drawing and painting – Showing your creative side will help to open your mind to different aspects of life. You become calm and relaxed as if you have no care in the world.

• Listen to Classical, Instrumental, Jazz or Gospel Music – Helps to calm and relax you.

• Try a Hobby – Allows you to enjoy something you are passionate about.

• Vision board – Create a vision board so you can have a road map to success. Be creative and use pictures from magazines or from online, quotes, goals, etc.

JOURNAL PROMPTS

The harder you work for something, the greater you’ll feel when you achieve it. – Unknown Author

Journaling is a powerful way to process events in your life, build self-awareness, get more clarity, and keep yourself on track. Journaling also allows for past reflection, future insight, and present surrender. Keep in mind that this is a journey and everyone takes their own path. Ready, set, write!

BODY
