Upgrade Your Mirror: The Power of Reflexive Thinking
A change in our self-awareness is an essential trigger for learning growth. Explore how to extend your reflective thinking and upgrade your mirror.
I will keep constant watch over myself and — most usefully — will put each day up for review. For this is what makes us evil — that none of us looks back upon our own lives. We reflect upon only that which we are about to do. And yet our plans for the future descend from the past. ~ Seneca
Hold up a mirror and look at yourself. Consider your participation in an issue? Are you part of the problem?
When you look back, you first identify your role and acknowledge your influence. Reflect on your positive, negative or neutral impact.
Look closer and see yourself. Increase self-awareness. Part of a ‘constant watch’ over ourselves and a continuous effort to ‘put each day up for review’.
A change in our self-awareness is an essential trigger for learning growth.
Introduce frequent review, reflection and meta moments in any meeting, workshop or lesson.
