Reflection in Personal Development

(1st Quarter)

Knowing yourself is important because you need to know the details of who you
really are.Reflecting and meditating is one of the many things to do to know yourself
even more.In this first quarter, we tackle about knowing ourself,how we develop
changes in our body and in our aspects in life,our stress and how our emotions work.

Looking back to these lesson,it did really help me to know myself more basically I
don’t have time to reflect on myself because I always care for other people than
myself.Even if it hurts my side I will do everything good just to other people to be fine
and I’m not.Discovering of who we are first before other people is just important
because this is our life.Other people can guide you to the things but you are the one
whose gonna choose and you know what is right from wrong.People are there to help
you out but yourself knows what is better.That is what I’m doing right now,to know
myself even more so that even if people judge you,you know in yourself that you know
what is best for you not to them.

I also learned that in adolescent life there is a lot of challenges and issues that
we’re facing right now.For me identity development is a great challenge to know
because from this we can develop and to know yourself even more by facing this
challenge.I am an anti-social person too,it is said that these people were avid
manipulators and getting what they want to the cost of another which it hit me because I
also do these which I realize that is is wrong to manipulate other in the seek of your
happiness.Knowing this I will accept to the things that I have and face the consequence
not dragging other people just to cover mo wrong doings.

I also discover here that I am a rght brain and how it works to me is amazing.All
the words that describes the right brain were accurate to what I do in everyday life.The
function that I was overwhelm is that the random sequencing basically it means that
unorganized things which is true because I always never organize my things and lazy to
work with it.I also learned the Gardener’s Eight Intelligences,where bodiliy kinesthetic is
my kind of intelligence.It is said to be that there’s a lot of intelligence to consider which
is that no people in this world were born ignorant.They have a specific intelligence in
their selves that some people may not be good at it.

Our emotions and mental health were important to us because these two can
really make us a make it or break it situation.If these were affected,our life can be at risk
since emotional and mental health is a conservative to talk to other people,This is where
stress can come.If we don’t handle our emotional and mental health safely,the life as we
see as positive can inter-change.It is really hard to cope up with this kind of
challenge.Meditating and reflecting is great way to lessen the negative thought we think
and a good thing to monitor our emotions and mental health.Learning this concepts had
me realize that life is complicated to see because you don’t know what is gonna happen
next.You just need to prepare yourself for the challenges and issues that you’re gonna
face.
