Reflections

"An unexamined life is not worth living."  Socrates

Most mental health people support the idea of self reflection -- time spent in examining one's motives and actions.  Some people spend very little time considering their lives, and perhaps others spend too much time -- turning examination into self absorption.  It is important to consider one's beliefs, one's motives and one's actions in order to live a fully conscious life.  One way to do that is to consider what triggers us; what actions cause us to react.  By considering our actions we can become more congruent in life, more true to ourselves.
