Make Time for Reflection
Mr. Sherlock Holmes had a way of solving difficult puzzles. His methods give us a glimpse into the power of mindfulness and reflection. Recent research shows that in as little as 15 minutes a day, we can create impressive changes in how we think and feel. This can lead to a happier outlook and an increase in productivity in our work. Even memory is improved.
New Year/New You!
The New Year is a good time for reflection and mindfulness. Take ten or fifteen minutes today and ask yourself these questions to get you started in a habit of refection and mindfulness.
- What do you want to achieve in 2013?
- What specific actions will you take to help you accomplish your goals in 2013?
- Will the work you are doing today get you to where you want to be in 3 years?
- What would you regret not doing in your life?
- What are your deepest values? Are you living a life that reflects these values?
