Reflect on past experiences for insight from "summary" of Kids' Guide to Staying Awesome and in Control by Lauren Brukner
When we reflect on past experiences, we are taking the time to think about things that have happened to us before. It's like looking back at a movie of our lives and thinking about what we liked, what we didn't like, and what we learned from each scene. Reflecting on our past experiences helps us gain insight, which is like having a light bulb go off in our heads. This insight can help us understand why we feel a certain way, why we act a certain way, and how we can make better choices in the future.
Think of reflecting on past experiences as being like a detective trying to solve a mystery. By looking back at clues from our past, we can figure out why we react the way we do in certain situations. For example, if we get really nervous before a test, reflecting on past experiences might help us realize that we always felt this way before big exams. This insight can help us come up with strategies to calm our nerves and feel more confident.
Reflecting on past experiences is a way for us to learn from our mistakes and celebrate our successes. If we think back to a time when we got into a fight with a friend, we can reflect on what led to the argument and how we might handle things differently in the future. On the other hand, if we remember a time when we did something that made us proud, reflecting on that experience can remind us of our strengths and abilities.
By reflecting on our past experiences, we are also building our self-awareness. Self-awareness means understanding ourselves better - our thoughts, feelings, strengths, and weaknesses. When we reflect on past experiences, we are getting to know ourselves on a deeper level, which can help us make better choices and build healthier relationships with others. So, the next time you find yourself thinking about something that happened in the past, take a moment to reflect on it. You might be surprised by the insights you gain.
