Self checking at the end of the day is extremely important for our spiritual progress and development. A useful practice in this regard is keeping a daily chart for 2-3 personality points and filling it up every night. You could either check yourself with a yes or no or perform a percentage wise checking like 50% or 90% for e.g. We have mentioned below, some of the common points from which you could select to keep a daily chart.
In the entire day, today; not only in my words and actions, but also in my thoughts:
1. Did I see everyone's specialties and keep good feelings and good wishes for each one, inspite of obvious weaknesses being visible? 2. Did I remain free from all forms of anger, like irritation, frustration, grudge, revenge, etc.? 3. Did I ensure that I neither give nor take sorrow, hurt or pain from anyone? 4. Did I remain free from negative and waste? 5. Did I remain egoless or humble? 6. Did I remain untouched by name, fame, praise and insult? 7. Did I remain stable and untouched by changes in life? 8. Did I remain free from judgments, criticism, jealousy, comparison, hatred, etc.? 9. Did I keep a consciousness of serving each one whom I met? 10. Did I bring the 8 main powers into practice and experience being powerful? 11. Did I remain in self-respect and give respect to everyone? 12. Did I practice being soul-conscious in actions and interactions? 13. Did I take a one minute break every hour to reflect, meditate and control the traffic of thoughts in my mind?
