Keywords:
Self-reflection, Morals, Balanced Life, Emotional Control, Character BuildingAbstract
This paper discusses the importance of self-reflection on morals as a fundamental step in achieving a balanced life amidst the complex demands of the modern era. As ethical awareness declines among the younger generation, deep self-evaluation becomes crucial for maintaining integrity and direction. This research employs a qualitative method with a descriptive narrative approach based on literature studies of relevant scientific journals. The findings indicate that moral reflection towards oneself significantly influences mental well-being, inner peace, and social relationship quality. Key aspects required for a balanced life include self-respect, emotional balance, personal responsibility, simplicity, and spiritual development . However, the process faces challenges such as dishonesty towards oneself, fear of change, ingrained bad habits, and lack of social support. By overcoming these obstacles through self-awareness and commitment, individuals can manage emotions better and make wiser decisions. Ultimately, this study emphasizes that self-reflection is a continuous process of character building that leads to a meaningful, harmonious existence.
