For the next few weeks, I’m taking a summer break.
It’s a lovely time to step away from my everyday life, to have a change of scene and of rhythm, to pull out and see things from a different perspective, to move at a different pace, to explore new places.
It’s also the perfect time to reflect on some questions that need a little more spaciousness to noodle on - either in a focused way with pen and paper in hand, or percolating quietly in the background of my brain while I’m doing something else.
So, in place of a reflection this Monday, here are 10 reflective questions. I’ll be taking them with me - and if you like you can too. Maybe all of them, or pick and mix, or use them as a springboard to create your own :-)
Where do I really need to focus my time and energy right now?
Where am I overcomplicating something that wants to be simple?
In a year’s time, what would I like to be the same in my life, and what would I like to be different?
If my life were a movie, what would the audience be screaming at the screen telling me to do right now?
Who are 5 people that I would love to reconnect with?
Where am I the exception to the rule - in a good way?
If I could get an outcome that was too good to be true in one area of my life, what would it be?
Who do I most appreciate being in my life, and why?
Where do I want to take myself more seriously, and where do I want to lighten up?
If 5 year old me could see me now, what would they be most delighted about?
Happy reflecting, and wishing you some spaciousness to let your thoughts breathe,
