Self Reflection - What You Say About Others Says Everything About You

Since the last ten years, I have been teaching self-reflection. It unlocks unconscious and limiting beliefs systems. The principle states that what you see in the world is a reflection on who you are. This means that if you see problems in the world or with people, it is likely that you have a similar problem within yourself. You will continue to face the same problems if you try to improve your outside life without adjusting your inner limitations Self-Reflection

This principle can be applied by paying more attention to language. Before asking my students to hear what I say, I often ask them to pay attention to what I say. It is important for people to be able to believe and understand this principle. This helps them understand other people before they can use it to their advantage.

They are often asked to listen in at Starbucks or on their favorite reality TV show and make a list of comments that they find particularly close-minded. We discuss later in class how the speakers' beliefs might influence their behavior and how it might impact the speaker's reality. I'll give you some examples of reflection so that you can see the power of this principle.

Example 1: One of my students heard another teacher complaining about a student and calling him a "troublemaker". The teacher was having difficulty dealing with the student, the class realized. The problem wasn't with the student; it was the teacher, who ran out of ways to empower and focus the student.

Example 2: A co-worker complained about being warned by his boss. The co-worker had stated, "I'm already trying my best." The class thought about the situation and realized that the coworker was out of ideas. He felt hopeless and stuck. He knew that he didn't like what he was doing, but he didn't think he could find a better way. He didn't even know there was another way.

Example 3: A student of mine realized that she'd been repeating the phrase "I've tried all things" for many years. After reflecting, she realized she had stopped trying new things because she believed she had tried everything. In reality, she had actually tried everything. After that realization, she started to ask her classmates for alternative processes and options.

When we apply its principle to our limited perspectives and use it in our own language, the true power of reflection is realized. You will soon realize that the things people say about your are not about you. It is all about the people you listen to and how they see the world. Importantly, the things you say about other people are not about them. Your perception of the world and what you think about other people is everything. This principle will help you to see the bigger picture and make your problems disappear.
