Half Year Reflection - Take yourself out on a date and check in!

Kaya – Hello!

Possibly the first half of the year has gone that fast that you haven’t even taken time to reflect to see if the forward momentum you had planned for life this year has even occurred.

If this is you then do you think this week it is possible for you to make a date with yourself – take yourself out to lunch or dinner and check in?

Ask yourself 3 questions.

• What’s working, and what do I want more of?
• What’s not working, and what do I want less of?
• Is there anything you want to do differently, and could you do it differently now?

I have the pleasure of having change conversations with people every day however I encourage everyone to take yourself out for a date and reflect/check in and ask yourself the important question to find out how you are going.

Knowing yourself is the key to your personal success. Reflection supports introspection which offers you understanding, presence of and search for meaning in life. Allows for new directions to be created for your future self to become whatever you want you to be. Research highlights the increased wellbeing and meaning people can achieve in their daily life through reflection as opposed to rumination (which often is confused with reflection in my experience). https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0191886917304294

Looking inwardly may be thought to be selfish, egotistical and for the self-involved. It may also be scary as we may not like what we find and may become overwhelmed with it. All of this is for great debate however when you look at people who have succeeded and achieved their life goals/stories and missions around the world there is always self-reflection and redirection involved. I have learned through my own journey that you can only make the change when you are ready, willing and have support around you to change the things that may not fit you or give you energy any more.

Over the next few weeks, I will offer 4 quizzes and tools you can use to learn more about yourself through my Blog and Website at https://www.coachedbysue.com.au/
