From a GLAS Method perspective, reflection begins with Emotions / Awareness, creating non-judgmental observation of thoughts, feelings, and physical states. This awareness interrupts reactive patterns and allows individuals to identify what is actually happening, rather than the story they are telling themselves. Reflection becomes the bridge between experience and choice.
The Art of Reflection also strengthens Growth / Learning and Relationships / Connection. By examining outcomes, assumptions, and interpersonal dynamics, individuals develop adaptive insight rather than repeating cycles. In relationships, reflective practice increases empathy, accountability, and psychological safety, enabling more honest and aligned connection.
Finally, reflection recalibrates Energy / Vitality, Purpose / Meaning, and Joy / Fulfilment. When effort is reviewed through a purposeful lens, energy can be redirected away from friction and toward meaningful contribution. Joy emerges as coherence increases — not because circumstances are perfect, but because actions feel aligned and intentional.
