Keep a journal
Take some time to write in your journal about your thoughts and feelings, and your successes and failures for the day. This will help you grow and move forward in your achievements. As you self-reflect, take some time to think about how you are a leader, and how people working under you likely view you. Think about what you do to help other people, and if you could possibly do more. What are your values, and what is most important to you right now.

In your Journal include the following:
- Write down your goals, plans, and priorities
- Perform self-reflection (In order to have self-awareness, you must do self-reflection. This requires setting aside some time, hopefully every day, to honestly look at you as a person and a leader. Committing to this practice can help you improve.)
- Ask trusted people to describe you (We have to listen to the feedback of our peers and mentors, and let them play the role of an honest mirror. Tell your friends when you are looking for open, honest, critical, and objective perspectives. Allow your friends to feel safe while they are giving you an informal yet honest view.)
