Making Space for Reflection
Have we lost our connection to ‘reflection’ because we have mis-identified it as ‘boredom’? In our worshipping of ‘busy’ and ‘doing’ culture, have we forgotten how to simply ‘be’ with ourselves for a moment? In this episode, we explore the value and practices of reflection in our lives, as well as real-life examples of easy ways to build reflection into your day.
Here are some ways to help you explore reflection in your own life:
- Take 3 minutes and reflect on what was meaningful for you in this episode.
- One of the best places to reflect is in Nature. Walk in Nature, look at a tree, rocks, ocean, etc. and just observe.
- Use a beginners mindset, curiosity is key
- Don’t overcomplicate it - do it when and where and you can
- End of Day Review Practice - What moved you today? What was a highlight? What would you like to do better?
- Kettle boil reflection - instead of ‘doing’ something while the kettle boils, reflect instead.
- If you’re a verbal processor, use a Voice Memo or Voice Note or a trusted friend to exchange messages with. Jane and I use Voxer to park our thoughts or reflections without the pressure of having to respond ‘in the moment’.
- Reflect on the reflection: What did that reflection just show me?
Questions for further guidance:
- What moved me today?
- What flowed for me today?
- What am I feeling?
- What patterns are here that might be repeating?
