Insights are moments when suddenly things click, something becomes clear and we know what our next step will be, an idea pops up that we haven’t considered before, a connection gets created, a new perspective opens up or we unexpectedly understand something that didn’t make sense before.
Insights are magic moments.
For an insight to happen your mind needs to quieten down. When you feel overwhelmed and stressed out it’s difficult to come up with a solution to a problem. When your attention is all over the place and you feel distracted it won’t work. It’s when you pause that you can look within and get answers to some deeper questions. It often means allowing intuition to play a role too.
What helps is having a weekly time for reflection, some ‘you time’ when you reflect on how the week went, take credit for what you achieved, think about stuff that needs adjusting and your key plans for the coming week. Doing this once a week or at least once every other week will make a difference. It will help you to slow down.
To start you first need to allow yourself this time and decide when exactly you do it. Make it non-negotiable and show up. It will bring you results, and open space for insights.
When will you have your reflection time this week?
