Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- I keep meaning to step back and take stock, but reflection always loses to whatever’s urgent
- I’ll do this big thorough reflection once, feel great about it, and then not do it again for three weeks
- One bad day and I spiral, treating it like proof I’m failing
- When I look at how I actually behaved today I can only ever do one of two things
- Every week I hit the same walls and learn nothing
Practices that may help
- Build a weekly reflection ritual so the cycle runs regularly
Schedule a fixed reflection window so the four stages happen as a routine, not an afterthought.
