I committed to adopting a practice of reflection at the beginning of 2022.
Why?
Because research shows that reflection helps:
•organize our thoughts
•make sense of things going on in our lives
•lock in lessons learned
Here are my 4 key lessons:
1. How I reflect is not important—just that I do it
2. My reflections are meant for me and nobody else
3. It doesn’t matter if I review my thoughts; the value is in the process
4. Prompts help—that blank page is scary!
My biggest takeaway: just get started and do it.
It doesn’t need to look or sound good.
I just need to do it.
