Many of us often don’t take the time to reflect on our personal journeys however, it is always useful to reflect on where you are today by taking the lessons of the past. Join Jeanette today as she guides you through a simple exercise which allows you to look at your personal journey timeline and identify key milestones, people and curveballs that got you where you are today and what this means for you going forward.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Your personal journey timeline is about looking back and reflecting on the key moments that you have had in life and being able to pinpoint those key milestones in terms of how that shaped who you are today.
Reflecting on your journey helps to set the context of where you are now, and it helps you build an understanding of the person you have become through all of those years of experience be it in a business sense or in your personal life. This building and knowing you who you are, warts and all is a refreshing way to do.
Take a blank piece of paper and draw a timeline, noting down your significant life events that have influenced you in the journey that you have been on. Focus on events, milestones and transitions that have had an impact on your development, these can be positive or negative and personal or professional events.
Note down opportunities that made a difference in your life that helped you grow and develop, identify the obstacles that got in the way of your journey as well as noting down any unexpected delights that happened. Add in the name of individuals who were significant in your life and who contributed to your development or possibly those who hindered your development.
Ask yourself what lessons you learned along the way, what you learned about yourself, the people that helped you the most and how you operate best. As you look at your timeline, think about what new understanding emerges and what does that, therefore, mean for you going forward.
BEST MOMENTS
“You can't drive a car by looking through a rearview mirror, however, I do think it is a useful thing to do to reflect”
“The reality is, what happens in your personal life affects your work and business life and vice versa.”
“There’s going to be so many lessons when you take the time to go back and reflect.”
