Self-Reflection is the key to self care. To care for yourself you need to have goals for yourself, big or small. You will need to want to grow and to reflect back on your actions, thoughts and emotions.

Here's how to start using self reflection each day to make sure you are giving yourself a little bit of self care every day.

Each day, at some point in your day when ever you get 2-5 minutes to yourself, open your journal, notepad or your phone and start to write.

To self reflect is one of the most admirable things as you are going to reflect on the positive and the negative. You are going to learn a lot about yourself that maybe you never knew.

While writing try to answer some of these questions:

• What are you feeling right now?
• What are you proud of today?
• Did you find yourself disappointed at some point today? If so, why? What could you have done to change this? If nothing, then write about reminding yourself to let go of the things that you cannot change.
• What is your self goal this week? What did you do today to work towards this goal?
• How would you change your actions from today to feel better tomorrow?

Once you are done writing each week, go back and read your daily journals and reflect back on your week as an entirety. Take a look at how far you have come, how you have learned to handle situations differently and how you feel better or worst each week in order to improve.
