Self Introspection: The Art Of Being Your Own Cheerleader

By Diana Bamala Empathy, communication, adaptability, emotional intelligence, compassion. These are all life skills you need to thrive for when emotions are crushing on you, you feel broken, useless, not worth enough. Time and again, we even hear that these capabilities are the key to making yourself indispensable not just now but far into the future. Soft skills, after all, are what make us human, and as far as we know, can’t be performed well by technologies like artificial intelligence. Criticising yourself, feeling bad about everything is an unpleasant moment filled with emotions and no artificial intelligence can change emotions. Emotions hurt so much, to an extent of loosing trust in oneself. Just imagine looking forward to something and failing to make it?  The feeling makes you question yourself. Life is shaped by you. Sitting with yourself, taking an honest moment to think about what transpired, what worked, what didn’t, what can be done, and what can’t. It's a whole lot to swallow. Reflection requires courage. When you fail to be the main player it scatters everything, putting yourself in an awkward position. Different thoughts cloud up and sometimes you question yourself.
