The Power of Looking Back: How Reflections increased mental health
If we never take time to recognize our progress, life becomes a fierce treadmill – running at full speed, but it seems that we are not going anywhere.

Have you ever scrolled through your old pictures and said to myself, “Wow, I was really suspected fashion sense” or “I don’t believe that I’m worried about it”? He, my friend, is progressing in speed. Given how far we come, seeing that there is not an emotional journey under the memory lane – this is an essential component for mental health.
The danger of thinking forward
We are present in a culture that worships Udham. The society tells us, “Keep pushing, keep climbing, and do not stop until you reach the top!” But where is the top anyway? If we never take time to recognize our progress, life becomes a fierce treadmill – running at full speed, but feeling that we are not going anywhere.
Only looking forward and sometimes backwards can cause anxiety, self-doubt and burnout. If we reject all our previous achievements, we can be able to believe ourselves that we are not improving at all. And this is not just that! Thinking about progress provides concrete evidence to our brain that we are changing, growing, and manage life more effectively as we believe.
A mental pat on the back
Consider the progress reflection. A comfortable, assured to embrace your previous yourself. Recalling the past reminds us that we have received the first time through difficult times and can do so again. At that time you used to believe that you will never do it through that terrible job? Well, here you are rich in a much better environment. Accepting victory-kig or small confidence and flexibility.
Rear science
Research in psychology supports the power of self-confidence. Studies indicate that monitoring progress improves motivation and emotional welfare. It works to resume our attention that we do not have what we have, building a healthy, more balanced mind state. And naturally, we become more grateful because we can see how much progress we have made. And gratitude, as we all know, is like a free serotonin booster.
How to make reflection is a habit
Keep a ‘Jeet’ Journal: Write small victory, success, or even things that you had handled better than before.
Monthly check-in: Once a month, ask yourself, “What have I learned? What challenges have I crossed?”
Compare you to you: social media affecting or for a friend who is ‘all together’ (Spiiler: They).
