"In the process of reflection, one makes discoveries about the self and the world that are often as surprising as they are illuminating." Mark Epstein
A wonderful quote to begin this week’s focus on the power of reflection.
How we can, through reflection, discover things about ourselves, about others, about the world, that we might not otherwise have done without taking the time to do this.
Reflection is about pausing, having a moment or more, to truly reflect on our experiences, actions, thoughts, feelings, behaviours.
Uncovering layers of ourselves, going beyond the surface - finding out what our beliefs, desires, motivations, triggers, fears and so much more actually are.
By doing this we also gain insights into the world within which we live.
By having a better understanding of who we are, we are more able to be compassionate and kinder to others.
Reflection, with the clarity it brings, helps us to be more intentional with making decisions about our actions moving forward.
Helping us to perhaps make wiser choices, more in line with our values and beliefs.
Providing us with the ability to become healthier, happier humans.
Living more fulfilling and successful lives.
I’ll be delving deeper into the benefits of reflection in my weekly email this week - it’s out on Tuesday evening if you’d like to receive it - https://bit.ly/3kvFf1Z
Providing, as always, some life changing takeaways that you can take action on straightaway to help be able to effectively and efficiently engage in the art of reflection.
