I like to find a kinder way of looking at "critical reflection" and think about it as self-reflection of what Is or Isn't working for a person. When we take time to get quiet, go within and notice the emotional reactions we are having to a particular situation, not only in our mind but also in our body, it can provide a lot of valuable insights. As we learn more about ourselves, we learn how to manage our emotions and be more present with others. Empowering our leadership, our intuition and our ability to have more meaningful conversations with others that inspire and bring out the best in others.

Getting at the root causes of what is leading to burnout is key. What's pushing you into overwhelm, over-giving, over-functioning to the point of exhaustion? Oftentimes, it's not the obvious answers but more deeply held subconscious beliefs about yourself, your capabilities, your value or worth. As you look deeper, you'll be surprised what you might find. What are you trying to prove to yourself or others? Notice if there is some version of the very popular "I'm not enough" conversation going on within yourself. Start there by rewiring your mindset to create healthier outcomes.

We all experience setbacks, challenges and stress in our life to varying degrees. These set backs can easily take you down the rabbit hole of negative thoughts and beliefs. Yet, as you practice being more mindful - noticing the negative thoughts and letting them go, the more resilient you become. You will find yourself recovering more quickly from those challenges, and learning from them as you keep moving forward with a fresh perspective for the tasks that lie ahead.

As you start to notice the internal dialogue that you're having with yourself and begin shifting in a positive direction, you'll begin to notice a cascade of positive effects that enhance your confidence. Your brain is an amazing place so as you speak kindly to yourself, cheering yourself on, your brain releases happy chemicals - Dopamine, Oxytocin, Serotonin, and Endorphins which literally make your body feel good. This in turn helps builds your confidence, resilience and sense of self-worth and self-esteem as you speak your truth, express your opinions and assert your needs. The more you do it, the better it feels, and the better it feels the more you do it! Keep going!
