follows busy day…. Have you ever used reflection as an opportunity to change and grow? The answers you find can make a powerful difference in your professional life. Pause to answer the following questions thoughtfully and see where your answers lead you.
Why [name your work]? Why have you chosen your work? List the desires that helped you choose to do what you do. Why [your work] per se? What problems in [name your work] currently take away the romance you once enjoyed on the job? List these problems and be very honest.What do others suggest to help you overcome the barriers you listed? Using this list, email at least one or two problems that prevent you from being who you want to be on the job. Write this problem without jargon, very simply so that someone outside your field can understand it. Then email at least 10-15 leaders outside your field and ask what they would do to solve the problem.Where to from here? Using the suggestions you received, write an action plan using the solutions you know can make a difference. And remember, action means acting and not just having good intentions.Reflection is key to growth since it prevents stagnation. Reflect is the fifth step in MITA Brain Based approaches. Why not reflect more often to become a new you? Ellen Weber says, Your brain is wired for renewal…are you?
The first three questions are adapted from Tammy Lenski’s book project, What is it about Mediation that Calls to You?. You’ll find great ideas for growth at her site no matter your field.

Robyn, your own extravagant reflection kinds of pops through in fun shades on every line here. Thanks! Why do you suppose it is far easier for some people to reflect as a way to move forward... while others tend to avoid reflection at all costs? Your posts made me wonder about that. What do you think?
My sense is that many folks do not take time to reflect because they are on treadmills. Others might not reflect because they have not reached a peace with who they are in relation to the world. This means growing the intrapersonal intelligence, which you explore often at Brian Based Business, such as Your Name Spikes your Brain.
