11 The Power of Reflection

Being able to reflect is one of the top 5 skills to be a good leader. Reflecting is about learning about yourself more and looking at things from different perspectives without judging them. 

It needs the courage to discover the winning and losing patterns.

There are several types of reflection; 

1. Purposeful thinking; According to John, the founder of La Crisalida Retreats, We can’t force purposeful thinking. It is clear, efficient, and specific. It happens when what we are doing is aligned with our initial purpose. So, we can find things in balance between negativity and positivity. In short, it happens when you can accept your inner voice, even though it’s negative. 
2. Writing journal
3. Audio notes
4. Discussing with a mentor or an honest friend

Every type of reflection matters. Find what works best for you, and try to do it consistently. Please commit to doing it in the long run. 

Some benefits that you will get when you do this routine are:

1. Improve your work performance.
2. Develop a better understanding of the relationship.
3. Give you crucial insight into what you could have done better. 
4. Upgrade yourself, your mind, and your morale, which shapes you to have a better personality and well-being.
