REFLECTION

&
How does one engage in it
 REFLECTION

It requires a person to be willing to

examine one’s thoughts, feelings, and
actions and to learn more about one’s life
and experiences.
 REFLECTION

One can reflect on almost any subject, even

on things that seemingly feels mundane but
when one engages in reflection those
questions takes a whole new meaning.
 HERE ARE EXAMPLE QUESTIONS
With Reflection and Deeper thoughts:
When buying clothes:
Will this even look -Do I even need new
clothes?
good on me? -Am I better off spending
Will this even fit? my money on other things?

When buying food:

-Is it worth the calories?
Should I buy Sisig w/
-Should I buy something
Rice?
healthier?
Should I get Softdrinks
-Will I even enjoy it?
too?
 REFLECTION

Have you noticed the difference when you engage in

reflection? The simple task of buying clothes becomes
something much more. If you focused on your wants,
you would just do it without second thoughts. But
reflection allows you to have an opportunity to think
deeply and makes you more consequential .

Reflection is vital in ensuring that our

actions and decisions are well thought out
and are done with due regard for their
implications and consequences on ourselves,
others, and our surroundings.
 REFLECTION

Reflection helps us understand ourselves and our

actions better. When we reflect, we can judge whether
our actions or decisions are reasonable or not. Taking
time to analyze your decisions and actions is one vital
skill that will greatly help you as you encounter more
challenges in life.

serious, and deep questions you would ask yourself in these situations

menu. You are deciding which dish to order.
2. You and your friends are deciding on a "fun" thing to
do while at the mall.
3. You open your wallet and saw that you still have a
hundred pesos left from your weekly allowance.
