Do you reflect?

The power of daily reflection.

Each day is full of learning. About ourselves, about our surroundings and how we chose to live our lives. 
I was in std 7 when my moral science teacher spoke about a unique concept."Appointment with your own self"
She said, set some time aside to meet yourself everyday before you sleep. Ask yourself what I learned today? How did I behave? What made me happy and sad? It was a beautiful and powerful practice she inculcated in us. I have done this every single day of my life. Sometimes I write it too....
This is about yesterday. 

1)I take criticism well and as a mode of learning something new about myself. Making myself vulnerable to people around so that I can gain fresh perspectives.

2) The work I do as a doctor is making a beautiful difference in society. The smile I offer to my patients is remembered along with my technical expertise.
A cancer patient going on palliative care came to meet me yesterday and said I wanted to see your smile before I left. It filled me with such emotions....

3) I learned I can stand for myself when I asked for an equal delegation at work. I chose to protect myself from burnout.

4) I learned how I can handle a whole lot of things If I focus just one day at a time. I am managing work and 2 kids on vacation without my full time help. 

I feel grateful, strong, and at peace!!

Reflection is a powerful excercise
Practice it and watch your life transform!
