    Joseph Goldstein’s 15-minute morning reflection gives three instructions: let go of the past, let go of the future, and let go of the present.

    Why Morning Reflection is Important?

    A morning reflection may help you prepare for the day’s challenges, clear your mind, and stay focused on what matters most to you.

    Reflection gives the brain an opportunity to pause amidst the chaos, untangle and sort through observations and experiences, consider multiple possible interpretations, and create meaning. This meaning becomes learning, which can then inform future mindsets and actions. For leaders, this “meaning making” is crucial to their ongoing growth and development. ~ Jennifer Porter
