Afternoon, everyone!
So in today's post, I will be discussing my favourite way of reflecting. It goes without saying that there are so many different ways of reflecting and none of them is good or bad. Everyone has their own way of reflecting. This is the way that works well for me. It's always worth giving new techniques a go to better yourself and your lifestyle. In order to do this method, you need a plain paper and a pen. That's it.
1) You have to draw a grid. Now, this grid can be however big or small you'd like it to be. It can include whatever categories you feel is relevant for your life. My categories are usually health and fitness, career, relationships and myself. You can have as many or as little categories but 4 is a good number. By separating your life into compartments in this way, it will help you really analyse the different areas of life.
2) Once you have the basic structure, you can add two different subheadings under each section.
Under your first subheading, list or bullet point your current state. What are you like at the moment? Be honest and brutal with yourself. When reflecting, you have to think about the whole truth rather than a compromised lie. When you list your current areas, you will realise the areas that you need to invest more time in and areas which you simply need to maintain or improve upon.
Under your second subheading, list your future state. Where do you want to be in terms of your health or career? What kind of activities do you want to be doing? What steps can you take to improve yourself? Do you need to get more advice? Who can you get this advice from?
This will all really help you understand how to envision your future and to improve yourself. It will also reveal your accomplishments and areas of improvement. It's worth remembering that you might be in a bit of a rut but everything can be improved. I was introduced to this method of reflection by Rowena Tsai [linked below]. I have been using this technique every single time I feel mentally or physically exhausted to recalibrate myself.
So that's it from me! Hope this method helps you with improving your life. I will see you in my next post!
