Making Space for Reflection: My Most-Needed Instant Elevation Practice
Making Space for Reflection: My Most-Needed Instant Elevation Practice
In the hustle of life and business, it’s easy to power through without pausing. But if I’ve learned anything from the Elevation Approach, it’s this: true growth happens when we take time to reflect. Making space for reflection is one of my most-needed practices because it allows me to recalibrate, celebrate progress, and uncover opportunities for improvement.
Here are three simple yet impactful tips to help you integrate reflection into your routine:
1. Schedule Reflection Time
Reflection doesn’t just happen—it requires intentionality. Block off time on your calendar weekly or monthly for this purpose. Use this dedicated time to journal, review your goals, or simply sit in quiet thought. Treat it like a meeting with your most important client: you.
2. Ask the Right Questions
Reflection is powerful when guided by meaningful questions. Consider these:
- What worked well this week/month?
- What challenges did I face, and how did I handle them?
- What’s one thing I can do better moving forward?
These questions encourage deeper insights and help you take actionable steps.
3. Create a Reflection Space
Your environment can make all the difference. Find a spot that feels calm and inspiring—whether it’s a cozy chair, a quiet park bench, or your favorite café. Bringing mindfulness to where you reflect can help you focus and make the practice more enjoyable.
Reflection isn’t just a pause; it’s a power move. By making space for it, you’re not only elevating your mindset but also paving the way for more intentional decisions and a clearer path forward. Start small and watch how this simple practice transforms your life and work.
