In the busyness of our lives it can be easy to just move from one thing to the next, without thinking, without pausing. The roller coaster of life.

Stopping and taking time to reflect, to look back, to learn, to understand is one of the most powerful tools in our  backpacks for personal and professional growth.

Why reflect?

It helps us:

• identify patterns and habits

• celebrate success

• learn from challenges

• Align our actions with our values

• make sense of our experiences

When we reflect we slow down just enough to ask ourselves meaningful questions eg what did I learn from that? What would I do differently? What do I need to let go of?

In my work as a supervisor and coach I hold space for those Im working with to reflect. This becomes part of their regular practice. Some people choose to have 1-1 sessions with a coach or supervisor, others may reflect through journaling or taking time out in nature or simply sitting with their own thoughts.

When we pause, we create thhe opportuniity for clarity ,growth and purpose.

Whats one way you can bring more reflecction into your life?
