 REFLECTIVE HABITS
What is self reflection?

Self reflection is like looking into a mirror and describing what you see.
It is a way of assessing yourself, your ways of working and how you
study. To put it simply ‘reflection’ means to think about something.
Reflecting and composing a piece of self reflective writing is becoming
an increasingly important element to any form of study or learning.

 REFLECTIVE HABITS
Why is self reflection important?

Reflecting helps you to develop your skills and review their effectiveness, rather than
just carry on doing things as you have always done them. It is about questioning, in a
positive way, what you do and why you do it and then deciding whether there is a
better, or more efficient, way of doing it in the future.
In any role, whether at home, school or at work, reflection is an important part of
learning. You wouldn’t use a recipe a second time around if the dish didn’t work the
first time would you? You would either adjust the recipe or find a new and,
hopefully, better one. When we learn we can become stuck in a routine that may not
be working effectively. Thinking about your own skills can help you identify changes
you might need to make.

 REFLECTIVE HABITS
Reflective questions to ask yourself:

Strengths – What are my strengths? For example, am I well organised? Do I remember things?
Weaknesses – What are my weaknesses? For example, am I easily distracted? Do I need more
with a particular skill?
Skills – What skills do I have and what am I good at?
Problems – What problems are there at work/home that may affect me? For example,
responsibilities or distractions that may impact on study or work.
Achievements – What have I achieved?
Happiness – Are there things that I am unhappy with or disappointed about? What makes me
happy?
Solutions – What could I do to improve in these areas?
