I’m launching a daily reflection challenge for every day of the year. That’s right – 366 days! Because it’s a leap year and everything!

If you’ve seen my health and wellness planner flip-through you’ll know that I plan on using the horizontal weekly pages for a daily reflection. Why? Because we don’t learn from doing, we learn from thinking about what we have done.

What is reflection?

To put it the simplest way – reflection is to think about something.

We follow our daily routines, often rushing from A to B and ticking off things on our never-ending to-do lists. Sound familiar?

I’m not saying this is a bad thing, but how often do we stop and think about how all of this is going? About what we have learned? What we would do differently?

Probably not as often as we should, but this is crucial if we’re going to understand ourselves, and to learn and grow for a happier future.

Self-reflection gives us the opportunity to stop and process how we feel about the things that happen in our lives.

How can it benefit you?

You can understand yourself on a deeper level. Your views, wants, needs, skills, thoughts, behaviours – the list is endless!

It helps you make sense of things that feel confusing or overwhelming.

You can learn from the past, which helps you plan for a better future.

You might even receive a confidence boost from recognising your skills and achievements!

By reviewing the good things in your life, you will have a more grateful heart.

I’m going to stop at these five, but this list really could be very long. Try it on a regular basis and see how it benefits you.

The monthly challenges

Each month I will be releasing a new reflection challenge. There will be a theme for each month and one question for you to answer each day. This will prompt you to think about different aspects of your life.

Try to complete this on a daily basis if you can, as this will give you some time each day to pause and focus on you.

Onto the challenges!

Check back each month for a link to the latest daily reflection challenge! Subscribe to the newsletter or follow me on Instagram so you don’t miss them when they’re released.

I will be posting some of my reflections along the way. If you want to share any of yours, use the hashtag #picreflectionchallenge.
