From conversations with numerous women, it has become evident that self-reflection, though crucial, does not come effortlessly to everyone. Many women admit their fear to delve deep, apprehensive about what they might uncover. But based on experiences of my own and those others have shared with me, I can assure you, there are no monsters hiding within.

Certainly, you might stumble upon truths about yourself that unsettle you or that you hadn’t realised. But these are not monsters, merely aspects of yourself awaiting acknowledgment and understanding. The beauty of self-reflection is the journey of truly knowing oneself. As we begin to decode

our thought processes, decipher our choices, and discern the underpinnings of our decisions, a vast inner world unveils itself. Like the TARDIS, though the exterior seems unremarkable, the interior is boundless and wonderful.

I frequently describe women as superheroes in disguise because there's a magnitude within that often remains unseen. This depth emerges when a

woman begins to practice self-reflection, which is about acknowledging the journey, the choices, and the emotions that bubble within. Such newfound self-awareness reveals a formidable, unique, and magnificent individual, often hidden behind societal barriers, masks, and preconceived expectations.

Over time, many of us, in an attempt to fulfil external expectations, overlook our own needs and desires. We mold our lives around other’s values, often sidelining our own. But as we embark on this journey of self-discovery, identifying our values and cherishing our individual needs, we

realise our uniqueness and the myriad of gifts that are ours. This realisation fosters a healthier, more wholesome version of ourselves.

Indeed, there might be facets we discover that necessitate introspection and change. However, this is a bit like gardening - to ensure flourishing growth, plants need to be pruned. Same with us, growth is stunted without an inner exploration and pruning. The most profound journey a woman can undertake is the inward one. If an event stirs an emotional upheaval within, pause, and reflect. Your emotions might be signalling something your conscious mind hasn’t registered yet.

The idea of self-reflection isn't novel. Ancient philosophies and cultures have endorsed the significance of self-awareness for millennia. They believed that understanding oneself was among the most rewarding expeditions one could pursue. However, in modern times, amidst juggling responsibilities and trying to fulfil societal roles, women often relegate self-reflection to the backburner. But recognising our essence and understanding our motivations not only enhances personal growth but also empowers us in all our roles. This voyage of self-reflection unleashes creativity, individuality, and a splendour that often surpasses our own expectations.

While women might appear ordinary, much like the exterior of the TARDIS, there’s a magnificent universe within, waiting to be discovered and

cherished. It's a universe that promises growth, self-love, and an unsurpassed understanding of oneself.
