Even though my blog is titled Reflections From Me I have never actually googled the definition of ‘reflection’, so I decided today was the day.
According to the Dictionary the noun of reflection is;
“the throwing back by a body or surface of light, heat, or sound without absorbing it.”
It is also;
“serious thought or consideration.”

Clearly I chose the right name for my blog given I am very reflective, but how reflective are you? Today I have decided to set you a little challenge to help you become a little more reflective! Within the coming months I want you to try and set some time aside where you are unlikely to be disturbed. If you can then print out this sheet, grab a journal or sheet of paper and a pen. Make yourself a cuppa, get comfy and begin reflecting.
Here goes . . . .
- Week one: What is going well for me right now? When I was young I dreamed I would?
- Week two: My biggest regret? What relationships in my life nurture me?
- Week three: My ideal day? Today I am grateful for?
- Week four: What big wins in life have I had? I feel so happy when I?
- Week five: Before this year is over I will? Things I’d like to say NO/YES to more are?
- Week six: What do I need to start doing? 10 things that make me happy are?
- Week seven: I feel excited when? What could I improve in my life?
- Week eight: Ten positive things about me are? Through doing this eight week process what have I learned about myself?
See how you go! If you don’t feel you can commit to this, then just take some time now to consider some of these questions, or pop it aside for a rainy day. If you do feel you can commit then good on you! Let me know how you go? Is there any questions that really inspire you to get writing?
Now it is time to share my favourite photos from the Instagram community #LivingFearlesslyAuthentic

I love the idea of a weekly reflection. For my week 1 I would say the things that are going well for me at the moment are my marriage to a man I adore, my blogging which gives me a sense community and is a great outlet and my crochet which gives a small income and a big sense of pride. #MG
I love the idea. Will do this sometime, much needed considering the frame of mind I find myself in these days 🙂
These are some excellent reflection questions! I already have some similar ones on my list – I’ll add a few of these 😉
You have put forward some very nice reflections. I am loving the Instagram photos on your #livingfearlesllyauthentic community.
I think blogging does this for me, and the accountability of coming up with something for my readers keeps me thinking all the time about back story: What’s the lesson here?
So thankful for the community that comes with this blogging life.
Hurray for you and #ablogginggoodtime! More time together! <3 #mg #livingfearlesslyauthentic xoxo
I am so happy you wanted to cohost #ablogginggoodtime with us. i couldn’t;t think of anyone better to join the team. I am definitely going to try your reflections but may take me longer! Thank you for hosting 🌟 #mg
Oh my, I am incredibly reflective. In fact, reflection is probably why I set up my blog, it gave me an outlet and a channel for my reflections. Pen x #mg
I am constantly in self-reflection so I love this challenge. Challenge accepted! I have printed it out and see where it takes me:) Congrats on becoming a new host for #ablogginggoodtime. #mg
Oooo I love these thought-provoking questions. I will definitely spend some time mulling some of these over.
I’m afraid I haven’t been able to put the button on my blog post, as my blog is having some technical issues that I have no idea how to fix. If it’s been saved or published, I’m unable to edit the html, add any photos or add any tags. It’s powered by WordPress and if anyone has any idea how I might be able to fix this, I’d be EXTREMELY grateful. Thank you <3
I am a really reflective person (and it’s one of the reasons I am always drawn to your blog). I think your weekly challenge is a really good idea and a great to encourage reflection and thoughtfulness.
Also thank you so much for featuring my post this week! I’m really grateful as it was quite a personal one and I didn’t know whether people would relate to it. So it means even more to me that you chose it. #mg
Great thought provoking questions. #mg
