Tip: Reflection > Now What?
Finally, Now What? Use what you’ve learned, and put it into practice. Why does this data matter? Identify strengths and weaknesses (glows & grows), consider alternative perspectives, and extract lessons and insights. Identify the key lessons, insights, or realizations you have gained from the reflection. What did you learn about yourself, others, or the situation? How can you apply these lessons to future experiences? Extracting valuable insights allows you to grow and make positive changes.
Do more research, discover new strategies to try, and plan for the next steps. Set goals for improvement and take action. Put this new knowledge into practice. Reflection is most impactful when it leads to action. Develop an action plan based on your goals and commit to implementing the necessary changes. Regularly revisit your reflections and assess your progress.
