The importance of Reflection
Written By: Niyati Roy
Rest and reflection are important for the maintenance of wellbeing. Studies showcase that resting our brains or daydreaming leads to improvements in self-awareness, learning and memory. By reflecting we can make meaning of our learning in new contexts and be more aware of our daily activities.
Reflection can be carried out through multiple methods. Some of these methods include setting half an hour aside to write down something in a reflection diary or creating a mental health mood tracker. Weekly mental health reflection and tracking can involve writing down your moods and self-care activities to allow you to track your mental health. An example of a mental health tracker is given below:
Other ways of reflection include:
- Using sentence stems to prompt you to write down thoughts
- Mindfulness meditation
- Listening to music or any other multimedia and writing down your thoughts
- Verbalizing your thoughts
