Prompt by Hailey

When was the last time you set aside a few minutes to contemplate your journey in life? You

probably haven’t, either at all or in a very long time, unless you’re someone who likes to sit and question every decision you’ve ever made (me). Anyway, the ability to have self-awareness stems from our understanding of ourselves and the way we look at not only life in general but our lives specifically. Determining points in your life when you’ve made life-changing decisions or when you discovered something new about yourself that helped you grow can be very beneficial. And to everyone who struggles to not think introspectively constantly, give yourself a break and try thinking about something a little less life-altering.
