Taking self-inventory involves several different steps:
- Self-inventory involves listing people, things, places, institutions and even ideas that you feel resentment toward or hurt by.
- Self-inventory requires identifying the root cause of these resentments or past hurts.
- Self-inventory involves recognizing how these events or developments made you feel about yourself and about others.
- Self-inventory requires identifying how you and your addiction may be to blame for these stresses.
- Self-inventory involves mapping out how you can respond differently to these people, places, things, institutions or ideas.
In a phrase, taking personal inventory and admitting our shortcomings is an exhaustive and intimate way of examining our life.
There are many personal inventory questions that you can ask yourself.
- How do I think of myself?
- How do I think others view me?
- How do I see my relationships with other people?
- What goals and plans do I have the future?
- What is my general sense of personal well being?
- What fears do I have about the future?
- What resentments do I have about the past?
- What is the cause for these resentments? (Be specific!)
- Where, when and how was I to blame for these resentments?
- How do these past resentments affect my current self?
- What can I do to move past these past resentments?
- What emotions do I feel now? Are these valid?
Self-inventory is all about being honest with yourself.
