Self Reflection

I have been deep in thought lately, about what it is that I admire about myself and what it is that I need to work on. I think it would be beneficial to write down what is worth changing or improving ... so that I can use it to reflect and become a better person.
  1. I need to stop talking about other people. If I am celebrating another's accomplishments or good doing, I need NOT talk about them.
  2. I need anger management help. Sometimes I get so angry (about stupid stuff) and I allow it to get me into a uncontrollable funk. It is then that I am at my worst, and I will say or do things that are ruthless and spiteful just to make me temporarily feel better.
  3. I need to not be boastful. There is NO need to talk about my accomplishments and blessings obnoxiously, especially if it has no benefit to anyone else.
  4. I need to determine who is a person of value in my life, and who is worth letting go. I cannot be friends with EVERYONE ... so now is the time to determine who is really worth my time and energy, and who is not.
  5. I need to make a better effort to reach out to those I care about and reconnect.
  6. I need to stop being so selfish and only caring about myself.
  7. I need to limit my social media usage.
Things I would like to continue ... because I do think it makes me a better peson:
  1. I should continue to pray. Everyday. Ask God for strength, guidance and forgiveness.
  2. I should perform random acts of kindness ... a good deed or kind words can go a long way.
  3. I should aim to let my actions speak louder than my words.
  4. I should try to listen more than I speak.
  5. I think it is good that I do not hold my tounge ... I should continue to stand up for myself and not let anyone walk all over me.
  6. I need to try to be a better person ... to have a kind heart and even kinder actions.
