How to Be a Good, Reflective Teacher on Yourself

Becoming a good, reflective teacher on yourself means developing your own capacity for constant learning and growth. Taking assumptions about yourself and others and rejecting them as invalid; starting over and re-creating yourself; overcoming flaws and strengthening weaknesses: all these are the outcomes of self-reflective teaching. There is constant room for growth and personal development; the more you aim toward becoming a more reflective, self-aware person, the more you will learn from the experience of life.

Write down the effects of each. Be honest and objective. Consider this a learning exercise: avoid self-blame, or blaming others.

      Add to that list the qualities or attributes you saw in yourself during and after those experiences. You can write things such as "level-handedness," "panic," "selfish," "weak emotionally," "indecisive" and so on. Reflect upon how you could have handled the situation differently, and what then the outcome would have been.

      Set future goals for yourself. Make a new list with points aiming to learn from the past and to do better and to be stronger in the future. Start your points with the words "I will ..." Make realistic goals. Add how you aim to achieve those goals.
