Geil Browning, CEO of Emergetics International calls reflection a deeper form of learning … "that allows us to retain every aspect of any experience, be it personal or professional — why something took place, what the impact was, whether it should happen again — as opposed to just remembering that it happened. It's about tapping into every aspect of the experience, clarifying our thinking, and honing in on what really matters to us."
Do you sometimes feel like you are swimming in information, barely holding on as you are swept from one moment to the next? This hurry-up, move-on, grab-the-next-rung time virus is common to modern life.
One of the reasons gratitude journaling is so powerful is that for a few minutes every day, you get to stop the world long enough for you to breathe and remember what’s good and important about your life. During this bite of slow-time, you are also offered tiny bits of concentrated wisdom, sparkling quotes that are almost like time-release capsules filled with inspiring vitamins for your brain.
Reflection winnows
the grain from the chaff
As you develop the habit of spending time honoring your life through gratitude journaling, you may become amazed at what you are capturing: not just things you’re grateful for, but also events, information you’ve read, ideas, possibilities, stories, and incredible synchronicities. Some will be more important than others, and this is where reflection is important as it calls out the things you want to remember and re-savor.
Your Gratitude Mojo workbook integrates reflection into every week, giving you time and space to highlight your important thoughts, feelings and insights; in effect creating a Treasure Box of important memories. Reflecting back on these memories is a way of falling in love with your life.
We’re getting close to launch, so here’s the overview of the process again. If you think you’re ready to jump in, there is a subscribe button below.
Here’s basically how it will work:
Because we want to help everyone develop their own gratitude practice, the newsletter posts will go to all subscribers.
Because we want to build community around the deep practice of gratitude, only PAID subscribers will receive the following:
TWO pdf copies of Gratitude Mojo, the journal. We hope you give one to a friend who will become a gratitude buddy. Do-it-your-way print instructions will be included.
Community comments. The primary weekly post where we will go deeper into the practice of gratitude will only be open to paid subscribers.
One-year subscription will be $50.
Clicking the subscribe button gives you the option of becoming a free subscriber or paid subscriber.
And once again here’s a brief, light-hearted look at the process to give you a better idea of what’s coming
