Sit down,

take a breath,

and reflect.

I truly think reflection can help everyone --

00:06
people in every industry,
4

1937
00:08
at every stage in one's career,

and in every point in one's life.

Reflection can be done through a
variety of different formats:
7
12931
3459
00:16
purposeful thinking,
8
16781
1538
00:18
written journal entries,
9

00:20
audio notes, pitches,
10

00:22
a discussion with a mentor or honest friend.

The point is to find what works for you
12
25257
3025
00:28
and to make a regular commitment.
13

00:30
To examine the events and
experiences of your lives --
14
30481

00:33
what worked, what didn't, and why --
15
33895
2547
00:36
and then, to think about what and how you
would like to do things differently next time.

So this might all sound a little fine and dandy,
17
41503
2701
00:44
and may be obvious or trivial,
18
44204
2428
00:47
but the truth is,
19
47243
1645
00:48
so many of us don't take time
out for regular reflection.
20

00:52
But reflection enables you to
focus on what really matters,
21
52585
4481
00:57
and to make better choices.
