These are two
very powerful tools for self-improvement, but how can you
use them in harmony? For example: Self-analysis and meditation
cannot be performed at the same time. After all, multi-tasking
runs contrary to what meditation is all about.
So where do we start? Self-analysis
will give many of your meditations purpose. The purpose of
self-analysis is to objectively look inward, constructively,
without judgment or regret, and to find solutions to ongoing
problems.
There is an instinctive fear
to take start this task. Hence, the reason why there are professionals
for psychological analysis. This leaves you with a decision
from the onset: Whether to do it yourself, or with the help
of professional guidance.
If you elect to go it alone,
that’s fine, but be prepared to encounter more issues
than you originally thought possible. At one time, we have
all managed to disconnect with our inner being. This creates
a fear of looking inward because of our reaction to what we
might see and learn.
Don’t waste time with
evaluations, comparisons, or judgments. These concepts only
support our feelings of inferiority, and for most of us, those
feelings should be purged from our inner being.
You will need solitary time,
when you can reflect on dilemmas, and take notes. You can
do this in your car, but you will need a recording device.
You will also want to make sure anything embarrassing is either
encoded or hidden. Records are great, but they can be incriminating,
so take the time to protect yourself from a potential invasion
of your privacy.
In order to meditate, you
will need to set aside time, in the early morning, or at night.
There is less activity in most households, at this time, and
less of a chance for you to be diverted or interrupted.
The quest for self-improvement
is the purpose of this kind of meditation. You need to clear
your mind and focus on one thought only. This should not be
turned into a form of grieving, so you must look at it objectively
and try to remove your personal feelings.
Your mind will naturally “stray,”
a bit, unless you have been practicing meditation for some
time. The straying aspect is actually good in this instance,
because it allows you to come back with a slightly different
perspective each time.
The end result of all this
work, will be discovering a multitude of self-improvement
solutions and improve the quality of your life.
