How to Reflect
Reflection is a skill that can be learned and developed over time. The first step in developing the skill of reflection is to become aware of our thoughts and feelings. We can do this by taking time to think about what we’ve done, how we’ve felt, and what we’ve learned. This can be done by writing in a journal, talking to a friend, or simply taking a few moments to reflect on our day.
The second step is to identify patterns and draw conclusions from our reflections. This can be done by asking ourselves questions such as: What was the situation? What did I learn? What did I do well and what could I have done differently? What can I do to improve?
The final step is to take action based on our reflections. This can be done by setting goals, developing strategies, and taking steps to reach our goals.
