Life moves fast. Everyone is chasing more comfort, more success, and more stability. With social media filling most of our free time, it’s easy to stay busy and skip moments of reflection.
How often do you truly pause to reflect on your life? What does your reflection process look like? Do you approach it intentionally, or do you rush through it because you feel too busy?
It's not something I do often or occasionally. But it's something I'm always intentional about when I do it. And most times, it's always before distraction, daily activities, especially when I'm carried away with the hustle and bustle of each other....
That's a good habit to keep your life goals on track and not lose it mentally. 😅
I also like to do it before distractions come.
Yeah! I guess that is the best way it can be done and how often do you do yours?
Daily?
Daily sometimes, randomly sometimes.
Its something I'm still working on but I know how beautiful it feels whenever I reflect, it's something I'd love to do twice daily.
So, it's something I do basically when I wake up, so I won't rush it when my daily activities start. Reflection is meant to be carefully done and not rushed.
Yeah, morning Reflections are the best actually. Because your body system and mind are all at rest and maximum energy.
I also like to do night reflections right before bed sometimes, it relaxes me.
That's a two different types of reflection there, morning is to look ahead, night is to check what you did throughout the day. Both are nice actually
Exactly! It's a beautiful moment if you decide to make the most out of each day.
I try to reflect at the end of a busy , stressful or peaceful day even if it's just for a few minutes it's no easy but it has become a routine.
I think about my decisions and if I'm at least achieving my goals or close or if I'm chasing my dreams.
That's the essence of reflection, to check if you're still on track.
A lot who don't reflect just go about anything that comes their way not making sure if they are still on their goals, some don't even have goals. 😅
It's good you have it on your routine, makes life easier, focused not just random.
But my real moment of reflection comes when all hands are off desk and my brain is relaxed, I kind of have an in-depth reflection then and that's when I can say I approach it intentionally
Off desk and off phone right? I think that's where many fail at reflecting, we stop working to reflect only to start using our phones. 😂
There's no reflection in that cos no matter how multitasking our brain can be, we can't do that when reflecting. So it's off phone
That's how it should, some just deceive themselves to be reflecting while in their phone.
And so, you do your reflection? Or you mean, there's no time to do your reflection?
My moment of reflection while still in the midst of task often come as a rush and that's part of when I get to observe if I have actually achieve something for the day so far
That means you do your reflection daily, that is how it should be actually. A lot of people don't even do any until something hits them very hard. 😅
You know those people who will that thinking their life only when someone insults them. 😂
Much less than I used to. The thing is that I am aware I need to stop and reflect, but there's always something wanting my attention.
And I'll say that's what every other person is faced with, some just find the time to stop and reflect because it is just as important as keep being busy.
