Journal #16 Importance of Self-Reflection and a Break from Society

Taking a break from society and to self-reflect is very important to someone’s life. If you never self-reflect then you will never fix your mistakes you are making or fix some of the problems you are having. Self-reflecting is so important to your relationships with other people. If you upset someone and it is because you made a mistake, then you need to self-reflect on yourself to try to see what you did wrong and what you can to make it better. In addition, when you self-reflect it lets you do something better then next time you try something. Fro example if you drop a pass in a football game then you if self-reflect you can find out what you are doing wrong and catch the ball next time it is thrown to you. Self-reflecting is very important to every sport you participate in. I already talked about football but, other sports such as baseball, basketball, hockey, soccer, swimming, or pretty much any other sport. Like in baseball if you make a bad pitch, self-reflection will let you not throw a bad pitch like that again, and do better on the next pitch. If you miss a shot in basketball or hockey, you can think about what you did wrong to try to improve on that next time you take a shot. I think it is also very important for someone to take a break from society for a little while. So much goes on in daily life that sometimes you just need some time to give yourself time to take a break. If you just to do everything everyone tells you all the time and never take some time for yourself, you will probably have a mental breakdown. That is why the weekend is so great. It gives you a break from your routine, and some time to do what you want to do or maybe get some things done you been trying to get to for awhile now. Without self-reflection and escaping socitey, life would be much more complicated.
