Musings + Affirmations: I study my behaviors to make myself better

self study

 

I study myself more than any other subject.
That is my metaphysics, that is my physics.

Affirmation: I study my own behaviors to make myself better.

Having intimate knowledge of myself facilitates my efforts at self-improvement. Knowing who I am allows me to see my strengths. It also allows me to see my shortcomings and enables me to work at decreasing or eliminating them.

I have in mind a mental blueprint of the person I wish to be.

I take the time necessary to reflect on my words and actions, and to determine if those behaviors exemplify this person. I look at that blueprint every day and take the necessary steps to match my actions with it.

I acknowledge that I sometimes simply react instead of thinking first. I am human. I can get so worked up by others or by unpleasant life situations that my feelings overshadow my goal.

I am a conscious being. I am instantly aware when I disappoint myself by giving into the negative emotions. When that happens, I take the steps needed to renew my focus. I realign my actions with my blueprint and all is right and well with my world once again.

 

Today, I vow to remain on course and aware of the person I want to be.

 

I commit to carefully assessing my actions to ensure that they are aligned with my behavioral goals.

 

Homework/ Self-Reflective Questions Journal Prompts:

1. Do I truly listen to the feedback from others about my behaviors?

2. Is there room for improvement where my behaviors are concerned?

3. How many times do I allow myself to make the same mistake?
