The Reflecting Pool Chronicles
Discovering Growth Through Self-Reflection
I have been on a healing journey for a while and have experienced tremendous positive changes in my life. Along this journey, I have had many opportunities to share my perspectives on healing with others and seen many “lightbulb” moments for them. The concept of this blog is to share my experiences in self-reflection and discovery. Through a collection of stories and reflections, I share what has helped me view my own life differently and allowed for positive changes. My goal is to help readers understand their own reflections and how to use self-discovery as a vital tool for healing and growth. Life is a series of lessons, and when we really pay attention, we can discover amazing things along the way.
Why Does Reflection Matter?
The greatest lessons I have learned throughout my healing journey came as a result of self-reflection. Many of us spend a lot of energy focused on things we cannot control. We cannot control others, our circumstances, or the things that happen to us. However, we can control what we do with those things and that has a major impact on how our life will go. Choosing to self-reflect allows you to assess where you have control to make positive changes. If you spend all your time thinking about how others can change to make your life better, you will not go further than those thoughts. But if you stay focused on yourself and what you are in control of, you will find much more growth.
