Reflections

Looking Back to Move Forward

Reflection helps me look beyond what happened and think about what I can learn from it. This is where I can record experiences honestly, notice what is changing and decide what I want to do differently next time.

Pause. Notice. Learn. Move Forward.

My Reflection Framework

When something matters — whether it went well or not — these four questions can help me understand it better.

01

What Happened?

Describe the experience simply and honestly.

02

How Did I Respond?

Think about what I did, thought or felt at the time.

03

What Did I Learn?

Notice what the experience taught me about the situation or about myself.

04

What Will I Do Next?

Choose one thing I can repeat, change or try differently.

Reflections I Can Add

Different experiences can teach me different things. I can add a reflection here whenever one of these moments happens.

Weekly Reflection

A few questions to help me notice the week instead of simply moving on to the next one.

  • What went well this week?
  • What was difficult?
  • What did I learn?
  • What is one thing I want to do differently next week?

Monthly Check-In

A wider look at what may be changing over time.

  • What am I doing better than a month ago?
  • What still needs more attention?
  • What have I learned about myself?
  • What do I want to focus on next month?

A Note to My Future Self

A message I can write now and return to later.

What would I like my future self to remember about this part of my journey?

To be written by me.

  • What am I working towards?
  • What do I not want to forget?
  • What would I like to thank myself for later?

I don’t want this journal to show a perfect version of me. I want it to show a real version of me that keeps growing.
