Reflecting with intention — and turning what’s worked into meaningful growth.
A reflective look at what’s worked, what hasn’t, and how small, intentional changes can help you move forward with clarity and confidence.
We often talk about hitting reset, slowing the pace, and giving our minds the space they have been craving. But resetting isn’t just about pausing. It’s about creating clarity before the next step forward.
Reflection is powerful, but the real momentum comes when reflection turns into growth. That’s where meaningful change begins.
This isn’t about starting over or striving for perfection. It’s about building on what’s already working — and growing into something stronger, more sustainable, and more aligned with where you’re headed next.
From looking back to moving forward
You might have joined a gym membership or started a morning yoga routine that gave you just the push to get through the day or the perfect break to recharge. Habits like these truly helped keep our wellbeing steady, grounding us amid the daily demands of life.
Sometimes, despite the best efforts to stay consistent with workouts or meal plans, we get frustrated and disappointed when we miss a session or fall off track — but that’s completely normal. Often, frustration arises from pushing ourselves too hard and expecting perfection from all the planned sessions.
And when we look back, we often realise we’ve already done enough, and we may have taken on more than we needed.

What worked?
Evening strength classes that made you feel capable and energised.
What didn’t?
Expecting yourself to train six days a week from the outset. Too much, too soon.
Every time we take a step back and reflect on the past, we can see what truly works, what we can let go of, and how to transform experience into lasting growth. We create space to clear our minds and strengthen our plans for the steps ahead. In Frontiers in Psychology 10, Grant suggests that pairing reflection with intentional goal-setting can lead to more meaningful progress and longer-term success.
