Han - To turn over and examine

Sei - To look back upon in review of the past

Hansei - Self-reflection

Remember the two sides to hansei?

1: Review what’s not working or what could be better.

2: make the commitment to improve on your findings.

Today, I wanted to go over some things to look out for if you will take doing a hansei seriously…

• Find where you fit into the equation: No one likes having problems, especially if they are the cause of their own. First thing in our survival mode of our ego is to find blame. If you want to make things better, find out how you are involved in the breakdown of things. It may not be your fault, but you may have created an environment that increased the chances of failure.

• Understand the purpose of hansei. It is a way to better yourself. It is NOT meant for you to find things to hate yourself over and look for pity. You are to identify things to improve, not focus and dwell in defeat.

• Be ready to accept your mistakes. You did it, yes, but you are here to fix it, NOT to relive the past. We are using this as a lesson and motivator to move forward.
• Remain open and committed to the solutions you come up with. Be ready to put in work to be successful
• Try not to make the same mistakes again. You’ve learned. You see signs. You have your statements. You Got This.
