Using Flashback for Success
Throwback to the day we swam in the sunflower sea.
It's #throwbackthursday. That particular day we get to reminisce on old pictures and laugh them off. Sometimes, we go a little further, saying, "I remember this day," and narrate a brief context of what happened earlier before we took the picture.
How about we take a step back to the day before the picture was taken to uncover more lessons that you could use today.
Some of the experiences we are witnessing today aren't new or foreign to us. As new experiences uncover, we forget that we can build on existing experiences by expanding them through flashbacks.
The term "flashback" might sound a little bit of "literature-term," but let me remind you that your life is a story, and you need elements of a brilliant story to create one.
Flashbacks exhibit extreme importance in today's world, where we easily get lost and forget our most resounding why.
Why did you choose to focus on that goal you are losing motivation on?
Why are you currently unhappy after working so hard for that brilliant promotion you desired?
Why are you not appreciating your partner as much as you did before?
I will tell you why!!!
It is because you have forgotten what it felt like the day you chose to set the goal.
You have forgotten the struggles you witnessed, the limitations you had.
You have forgotten what it feels like to be single.
Here one tool I find very helpful and can be applied anytime, any day, even now.
Schon's Reflective Practice:
Reflect in action: Reflecting as something happens. You don't have to wait for #throwbackthursday. Reflect by considering the situation, decide how to act and act immediately.
Reflect on action: Reflecting after something happens by reconsidering the situation and think about what you can change for the future.
Doing this will upscale your ambition, evoke limitless inspirations, make your goals clearer.
So while you are practising your #throwbackthursday, try to reflect on the emotions you felt that day and some of the lessons that will be of use to you today.
