“An unexamined life is not worth living.” – Socrates Self-reflection is a powerful way to live life and ensure we’re on the right track. Take stock of past events and choices that have led to your present circumstances. Was there anything you could have done better? Is there anything that worked for you that you would want to try again? When you have an understanding of how the past has impacted your life, you’re able to take the right steps towards ensuring a better future.Pat Yourself On The Back

Maybe you started going to the gym or you were able to lose some weight. Take note of your accomplishments and celebrate them. This is a confidence booster and serves as a reminder that you can always achieve more because you’ve done so before.Sign up to the Connect Nigeria daily newsletter
