Lately, it seems that we have had a lot more time to be introspective. Maybe it’s because of COVID (for sure, it is partially related to COVID), maybe it is because of the general state of the world… Who knows? What we do know… is that introspection and self-reflection generally lead to self-awareness, and self-awareness hopefully reduces jerkiness at work! In other words, when it comes to not being a jerk at work, it all starts with YOU! And US! (Not just you. We need the mirror, too!)
Key Takeaways:
Reflection is thinking...about...something. 🤔 How is that for descriptive??
If you notice you generally reflect during challenging times, try doing it when something has gone really well, too!
It’s okay to be uncomfortable when we self-reflect. Keep looking anyway! Practice, practice, practice.
