"Sometimes I sits and thinks, and sometimes I just sits." --Satchel Paige Self-Reflection Made Easy
The most long-lasting and powerful way to develop deep personal insights is through self-reflection, finding quiet time you can set aside to think or just be for a few minutes. This is easier said than done in our fast-paced, information-heavy, overly-busy modern world. Why would you spend valuable time doing nothing? Here are a few reasons:
Down time is incredible, but difficult for many to incorporate into their lives. And though I'm being light-hearted, I'm very serious about how it can improve your day-to-day life. This is why I want to make it easier to practice regularly. Meditation, Journaling & Group Dialog Over the last few months, I've been testing what I'm calling the "Insight Club." Nine motivated and interested people have helped me to develop a forum for self-reflection, including meditation, journaling, and group dialog. Starting today, I'm opening it up to everyone. Go here to join. The Insight Club includes:
This is entirely FREE! Self-reflection can't be bought, but it doesn't come cheap in terms of effort. It requires a little work on your part. You have to show up! I started this to make it easier for you to start. So you have a place to go. I'm inviting you into my personal practice. It's completely up to you how much you put into it. You can join any time and partake in any part of the Club, though the benefits of being "all in" will open up parts of yourself you didn't know were there, and you will discover creativity, productivity, and resilience. Try it for 2 weeks. Sign up here and you'll receive a "How To" guide with dial-in information and details about the journaling to get you started. What participants have gotten out of the Insight Club "The hum on the phone is audible, I can feel everyone meditating with me!" "I have a better perspective on others and myself. I journal every so often during the week, but feel like I'm more aware of my blind spots. "I don't know what's blocking me sometimes, and this gives me clarity." Now it's your turn: What's stopping you from taking 5-10 minutes out of your day to sit or think? If you are too busy, then in fact, are you too busy? How can you develop a routine or a toolkit to reflect on your day? Learn more about the Insight Club and try it out to see if it works for you. At the least, you'll learn something you can practice on your own. Comments are closed.
