Power of Reflection

Connor Soukup

    Being able to reflect is important because you need to be able to look back to your past experiences to reflect and learn from it. People can’t progress as people in maturity and wisdom if they can’t reflect. Reflection is something almost everyone can do and we do even without intending. 

    Meditation, praying and forced reflection isn’t very important or helpful because your mind does it by itself. Just remember not to fight the urge to reflect and let yourself reflect all day and not setting a specific time for it. Reflecting at one point in the day may negatively effect the rest of the day and how you take in information. Making the only time you can reflect and concentrate your thoughts being at the regular meditation time. So let yourself reflect and don’t worry to much about it. 

    Reflection is important because it allows us to learn from mistakes and past actions and reflect on them and process the outcome. Reflection is a natural human quality and not something you need to force. Reflection is incredibly powerful as it increases your knowledge and familiarity with the world and all your past experiences.
