Welcome to Part 4!
Part 3 summary: There are two methods of self-reflection that can motivate you to be proud about yourself and pull yourself out of your hole of self-loathing and hate.
We've explained in the Introduction of The RARE Solution why self-reflection is so important.
When you self-reflect, you start to gain a little bit of confidence through self-awareness.
Here's one well-known method of self-reflecting, and you might've heard it before: the pros and cons list.
Here's how to make a pros and cons list. today
Step One - Wake Up Early
Wake up an hour earlier than you usually do. This will give you that "fresh new day" feeling that is guaranteed to prepare you for a deep level of self-reflection.
Step Two - Gather Materials
In the morning, pull out a pen and paper and make a table with two columns in it.
Name one column 'Pros' and other 'Cons'.
Step Three - Making The Pros List
This is what you're here for.
Put the things you know you're good at in the pros section. These pros must describe your inherent personality. They're the personality traits you carry with you inevery single situation you go through in life. Identifying these unchangeable traits means you'll know that they'll be with you in whatever you go through in life.
Examples of pros: helping people, being honest about your feelings, mental maths, eating healthy food, kindness, work ethic- these are examples of pros that can benefit you in whatever you do in the future.
Step Four- Making The Cons List
In the cons section, write down all the stuff that you know you're bad at. As painful as it is to think of your own cons, it will be massively relieving the moment they're on paper.
Examples of cons: time management, understanding your own feelings, making decisions, (- and even figuring out what your own cons are!)- likewise, these things can all hold you back when you're trying to achieve recovery, success, and happiness.
Step Five - Profiting From The List
Profiting in business means receiving an excess of income after your expenses have been deducted from sales. In this pros and cons list, profiting means honing in on your pros only and completely forgetting about your cons.
How does profiting work in a pros and cons list?
It's essential- double up on your pros and apply them even more. Make a strict mental note to yourself to focus on the pros in everything you do because you do them well.
As for the cons, quite simply stop exercising them. Apply them less. And, if anything, try to transform your cons into pros. But- if your cons aren't changeable, don't worry. The cons can always be drowned out by your pros if you highlight your pros well enough.
Summary: highlight your pros by exercising them always and applying them more.
Step Six- Next Steps
A lot of people are afraid to do a pros and cons list. That's why you've might've skipped straight to here.
Have you wondered why you have certain pros and weaknesses that other people don't have? This is called a mismatch of pros and cons.
The mismatch is unique to you. It's what makes up your personality.
The mismatch can actually empower you in not-so-obvious ways.
Wait for Part 5 of The RARE Solution to see how.
