Reflection is important. It helps us to develop and grow in every area of our lives. How often do you ask yourself “am I the best ME, right now?” or “am I living like the glorious human that I know I truly am?”. First of all yes, you are indeed a glorious human but more than that you are growing and learning with each passing day. You are never the same person from one day to the next which is why it can be super important to take the time to pause and reflect. Here are three key areas for you to focus on:

Challenges: it is always important to take a look at the things that have interrupted the pace of your life and reflect on how you confronted them. Did you rise to the occasion? Or did you cower under your bed? Whatever you did, we aren’t here to judge you, but we do want you to think about it. Most importantly assess what the impact of that challenge had on you.

Accomplishments: this one is fun. Taking the time to reflect on your accomplishments gives you the drive and motivation to continue to pursue goals in your future. How did you get there? What strategies did you implement to jump those proverbial hurdles and make it to the finish line? Lastly, how will those strategies help you later.

Opportunities for Growth: this is special. Here you have a unique opportunity to combine what you have learned from your successes, as well as your set backs, and create new ideas that will propel you up your mountain!

Essentially, we are encouraging you to periodically take the time to reflect. Think about where you have come from, all the things that you have been through, all the things that you have overcome, and where you want to go. Hopefully at the end of this you would have cultivated a whole new appreciation for the incredible person that you are! We love you!
