The importance of self-reflection

By: A. Bonde
Self-reflection is a powerful tool for personal growth and development that can be accessed by anyone, regardless of their age, background, or life experiences. By taking a step back from our daily lives and examining our thoughts, behaviors, and emotions, we gain valuable insights into our strengths, weaknesses, and areas for improvement. 

Movies can be a wonderful way to promote self-reflection. They have the power to evoke strong emotions and tell stories that resonate with our own experiences. By exposing us to different perspectives, inspiring change, and providing a safe space to explore difficult emotions and experiences, movies can help us reflect on our own values, beliefs, and relationships. 

Here are some recommended movies if you ever need to reflect. The Pursuit of Happiness (2006) a film based on a true story and follows the journey of a struggling salesman who becomes homeless with his son. The movie makes you reflect on the importance of perseverance, hope, and the love of a parent for their child. Another recommendation is the Dead Poets Society (1989) which explores the power of individuality and the courage to challenge the status quo. It encourages you to reflect on your own beliefs and values and whether you are living your life according to them. Lastly a film that I encourage all to watch would be Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004). This piece explores the nature of memory and the impact of past experiences on our present and future. This movie makes you reflect on the importance of forgiveness, acceptance, and the role of love in our lives. These are just a few examples of films that can make you reflect upon yourselves. Ultimately, any film that explores themes of love, loss, purpose, identity, and relationships can inspire self-reflection. 

Nonetheless through self-reflection, we become more self-aware and gain a deeper understanding of ourselves. We can identify patterns of behavior that may be holding us back or causing negative emotions. This allows us to take action to make positive changes in our lives, whether that means setting goals, creating action plans, or simply being more mindful of our thoughts and actions. 

Overall, self-reflection is a valuable tool that can be found in anything, from a piece of art to a film. By using this tool, we can become more in tune with ourselves and make positive changes in our lives, leading to greater personal growth and development. ​
