Self-reflection can be either a motivating force for positive changes going forward or a form of self-torture that keeps us stuck in unproductive thinking. I am highly self-reflective. Yet, I allow myself only brief peeks into these windows because reflecting takes me out of the moment. When I am thinking about how I reacted, what I did, a comment I might have made, what someone else did — I am no longer present. And the present moment is really all I have. The past may have been wonderful or hurtful. Nonetheless, it is past. It is important for me to reflect briefly, but not to linger in extended stays of reflection. Benefit comes only from brief glances — much like catching a reflection in a window. From brief reflections, I gather my thoughts, my emotions and my energy. Moving forward with conviction and trust that I am on the right path. My future actions reflecting what I have learned.
