Standing ovation from the entire team here at Explore Careers to you – you made it to the end of term one! \ud83d\udc4f\ud83d\udc4f\ud83d\udc4f<\/strong><\/p>\n In our current climate, every win – even just making it through the first term of the year – deserves full acknowledgement and appreciation. We KNOW it\u2019s not easy out there, but now\u2019s an excellent opportunity to grab yourself a little bit of rest and relaxation, ready to get back at it for term two.<\/p>\n And hey, because we are all<\/em> about your personal and professional growth, now is also a pretty good chance to reflect on what went well, what didn\u2019t and how you\u2019re going to smash it out of the park next time.<\/p>\n You\u2019ve probably been told to \u2018reflect\u2019 a lot, whether at home or in class, but do you know how to \u2018do\u2019 it? Or even why you should?<\/p>\n We\u2019ll let you in on a secret – we thought it all sounded a bit boring, too – until we read some pretty cool research that helped us understand why it\u2019s such a valuable exercise!<\/p>\n Reflection is about careful thought, and useful reflection involves consciously considering your beliefs, ideas, thoughts and actions to help you learn how to do things better in the future. Ultimately, reflection is about setting yourself up for success!<\/p>\n Reflection can help our brains pause after a chaotic period, so we can spend some time untangling everything we\u2019ve experienced, ready to process and learn from it. Without reflection, we risk simply repeating the same old actions and mistakes.<\/p>\nThe Value of Reflection<\/strong><\/h4>\n
