How to analyze yourself

When we set ourselves a goal, it is important not only to dream, but also to learn to see our path in dynamics.

Hello, friends! We talked earlier about how important it is to clearly set goals and plan your way to them? If you haven't read it, or you want to refresh your memory, I advise you to take a look at our previous article "How to set goals and plan". Today we will go further and immerse ourselves in an equally significant art - the art of introspection. After all, as folk wisdom says: "Know yourself - and you will know the world."

Why analyze yourself?

We, the participants and mentors of the nwet.online educational space, live according to the principle of constant growth. And a key element of this is introspection. It's not just a reflection, it's a conscious process that allows us to see our victories, realize our mistakes, and correct course. It's like a GPS in your inner world: it shows you where you are, where you're going, and what you need to do to get there.

At nwet.online, we divide goals into annual, quarterly/monthly, weekly and daily goals. The analysis also has the same level, but now we will focus on the weekly. Because it is precisely because of life up close: what were the difficulties, where to win, what inspires and what pulls you back.

Weekly analysis: Letter to the Soul

The biggest and most in-depth is our weekly analysis. Imagine that you are writing a letter to God, or to the closest person to whom you can fully trust and open your heart. This is not just a report, it is a sincere conversation with yourself, where you do not hide anything - neither your victory nor your fall.

Here are a few points to help you structure your weekly analysis:

• What was the inner goal? How did you work on it? What are the results?

Every week we set an internal goal for ourselves - it can be the development of a certain virtue, overcoming a negative habit, deepening the understanding of some principle. For example, the goal is to be patient. How do you work on it? Were there situations where you were patient and where you were not? What were your feelings? How close are you to the desired result? Be as honest as possible.

• What are the main difficulties you are currently facing? How do you work on them?

Life is not always a smooth road. It is important not to be afraid to admit your difficulties. It can be external environmental, internal doubts, laziness, fear. Describe them. And most importantly, how do you overcome them? What steps do you take? Perhaps you are looking for support, reading relevant literature, asking. Remember: "Where there's a will, there's a way."

• What were the winning moments?

Remember to celebrate your small victories! It can be a successfully completed task, a given fear, helping another, a sincere conversation. These moments inspire and give strength to move on. Capture them.

• What did you manage to do? What was your main focus?

Evaluate your week by productivity. Is planning successful? Have you been distracted by secondary things? Where is your focus on energy and time? This will help you better plan the next period.

• Cooperation with a mentor/mentor: how did it work, what would you like to improve?

If you have a mentor, this is a great opportunity to analyze your interactions. How does a mentor's support affect your progress? What do you value in this cooperation? Maybe there is something you want to change or improve in your communication to make it even more effective.

• The sphere of relations with friends/colleagues/relatives: how did you work on it, what is your awareness?

Our relationship is a mirror of our soul. How did you interact with others? Were there any conflicts, and how did you resolve them? Will you have time to support someone, listen, show love? What lessons have you learned from these interactions? "Kind words heal, but evil words hurt."

• What was separated from self-education? What were the realizations?

We are constantly learning. What did you see this week? It can be a book, article, lecture, or conversation. What ideas stuck with you? Were there any “aha moments” when you suddenly understood something important?

Hello! I see you're reading about development. Do you want to know what educational programs we have for you?

Yes, show me!

• Free topic (Questions that bother you? A topic that caught your attention?)

This is your space for everything that was not included in the previous points. Perhaps you are concerned about a question to which you are looking for an answer. Or you were impressed by a certain event or topic. Put it on paper because "what's on the mind is on the tongue."

• An internal goal for the next period?

Based on this week's analysis, form a new internal goal for the next. It should be specific, achievable, and inspiring.

• What will be the main focus?

Identify 1-3 key areas or tasks that you will focus on in the coming week. This will help keep you from splattered.

• What practical tasks need to be done?

Turn your goals and focus into concrete actions. What do you have to do physically to achieve what you want? Make a list that will be your guide.

Additional questions for in-depth analysis:

• What inspired and helped to invest? Remember moments, people, ideas that gave you energy and motivation.
• What would you like to change and improve your environment? This is constructive vision, not criticism. How can you positively influence the surrounding space?
• Questions that bother you and to which you cannot find an answer. Don't be afraid to voice them. Sometimes, by simply formulating a question, you are already close to the answer.

Monthly, quarterly and annual analysis

Based on the weekly analysis, you can easily make monthly and quarterly summaries. It will be a summation of your small steps that will allow you to see the bigger picture. And the annual analysis is already a summary of your path for the whole year, an assessment of meeting annual goals and planning for the new year. It's like “bringing together” all the threads of your life.

Conclusions

Over the years of practice, I realized: people who regularly analyze themselves live more consciously, make better decisions and have a greater impact on the world around them. This is the way to become a better version of yourself, to positively influence your environment and the future of our country. A real analysis concludes with a change plan. "A tree is known by its fruits" - your future actions will show what was analyzed by the sincere.

If you want to go beyond analysis, but also act, develop your leadership skills, and learn how to set goals and analyze them in practice, we invite you to our Leader of the Heart workshop at nwet.online. This workshop program offers a great opportunity to practice these important skills under the guidance of experienced instructors.
