Introspection

Definitions of introspection on the Web:

• Self-observation of one's thoughts and feelings.
• The act or process of self-examination; contemplation of one's own thoughts and feelings; a looking inward.
• A process of inward attention or reflection, so as to examine the contents of the mind.
• the contemplation of your own thoughts and desires and conduct
• introspection is the direct observation or rumination of one's own heart, mind and/or soul and its processes, as opposed to extrospection, the observation of things external to one's self.
• Introspection is like the activity described by Plato when he asked, "...why should we not calmly and patiently review our own thoughts, and thoroughly examine and see what these appearances in us really are?" (Theaetetus, 155)
  

I thought I would look around to find out how others define self-reflection. These are some of the definitions I found. I like the last one I found on Wikipedia. It is a quote from one of Plato's writings.

As I begin to look at my own thoughts to see how they really appear, I am going to involve my Lord too. He is the one that has raised me up to where I am now and I want to continue to let Him mold me into who He wants me to be. I think this will be a great opportunity to get my thoughts written so I can evaluate them later down the road. I know I am in a time of learning and growth, so when this 6 weeks is all said and done, I think I will be surprised at my ability to evaluate my thoughts.
