5 Steps to Self-Evaluation

As we enter the second half of the year, we start to experience different emotions. The joy of seeing a new month, the will of starting a new plan, and the regret of wasting the last 6 months. If you are like me, you’re probably part of the third group, the ones who feel like they have wasted their life, yet again. It easy for you to get tangled in your sadness, but do not fret, I have help.

Self-evaluation is the intentional process of reviewing yourself. it is reviewing your activities and performances, and coming to a conclusion of your strengths and weaknesses, and how you have been so far. It can also be called self-assessment.

Steps to self-evaluation

Self-evaluation may seem biased as you will be the one assessing yourself, and might not be honest but when done correctly, it is one of the best ways to improve on yourself. Follow these steps for an effective self-evaluation practice.

1. Celebrate your wins

When starting your self-evaluation, I would advise you to start with the good stuff. Your greatest achievements, biggest sale, happiest day, and even your best talents. The point is, celebrate your wins. Pat your shoulder and congratulate yourself, it’s not being proud. 

It is important to do this because the next step can be discouraging.

2. Be honest to yourself

This is the part where you have to face the truth. In this step, you bring up all the mistakes you’ve made. You have to be honest with yourself so that you know where to make the corrections.

3. Review the plan

This step is important because it helps you know whether you are still on the right track. Are you still working according to the plan you set for yourself earlier this year? Is there a need to edit your plan? Do you still need that plan? Or maybe you should make a new one? Reviewing your plan makes self-evaluation very effective.

4. Take your time

Don’t expect to get things done well when rushed. Mistakes become inevitable in moments like these. You need your time to celebrate your wins, time to be honest to yourself, time to review your plan. You also need your time to recover from the stress of the first half of the year and prepare for the next.

5. Make the next step

After you are done with the previous steps, this comes next. This is the last step of the self-evaluation process; it is also the first step of a new self-evaluation process. This step reflects your self-evaluation process and affects your next self-evaluation process.

Self-evaluation is a tool that is mostly used in an office setting as it is used to assess employees and make an employer aware of his employees’ strengths and weaknesses. It also helps employees demonstrate their accomplishments and make them more qualified for their respective jobs. As a tool used in the office, it is advisable to adopt this method and enjoy its benefits.

Stress vs Burnout: Recognizing the thin line

Stress, Burnout. These words are sometimes used interchangeably, but really, they aren't synonyms. They are two distinct words, you can look them up. Now that you believe me, what then is the difference between stress and burnout? Stress is a state of mental tension and worry caused by problems in your life, work, or school. These problems are usually referred to as stressors. You have to develop the habit of managing your stress or it might become overwhelming. Burnout, on the other hand, is a result of excess stress. It is increased exhaustion and diminished interest, resulting from the accumulation of excessive amount of stress over time. This is when your stress becomes unmanageable. Do you see it now? Burnout = accumulated stress over time. Stress and Burnout can be differentiated in 3 ways. 1. Persistence vs Exhaustion. A person might experience stress as a result of persistence. I'm not saying you shouldn't strive to reach your goal. I'm saying, you could be tryi...

In most cases, our biggest obstacles are not far away from us. They are not the people around us or the situation we find ourselves in, neither are they what we lack or have. They are what we think we are, what we think we are not. They are what we believe, and they are limiting. Limiting beliefs are strong opinions and convictions we have and believe to be true that negatively affect us. These limiting beliefs are beliefs we hold strongly that limit us in some way. Limiting beliefs cause a lot of limits in our life and correcting them is not a lot of work, but it requires a lot of time and conscious effort. I have a 5-step recipe to correct your limiting beliefs and you’re about to get a taste of it. Grab a book and pen, let’s get in. 1. Think about your limiting beliefs. This heading should be, “write down your limiting beliefs” . I childishly wanted all the headings to start with a T. It is more effective to think of your limiting beliefs and write them down. This way, you c...

5 Benefits of Having a Journal (and Apps to try)

A journal is more than just a record of your day, activities, or experiences. According to Mina Murray, “Journaling is like whispering to one’s self and listening at the same time.” It is the only place you can talk without being interrupted. I added journaling as one of the habits I want to develop this year , and I’ve been doing it for 6 months now, even though I’ve had days of inconsistencies. Even with the days I skipped, I still enjoy a lot of benefits from keeping a journal. Some of these benefits are: 1. It serves as an emotion dump. Life is messy already and you can’t go through it without feeling messed up once in a while. How long will you carry those emotions bottled up in you, squeezing the joy and fun out of your life? You can’t tell anyone about it because of your insecurities or fear of judgment. You wouldn’t even tell a friend because you know you are wrong.  A journal is the best place to dump all those emotions and destructive thoughts.  2. It serves as a gu...
