I often brainstorming ideas for my next topic, before narrowing down what I will write about. Today, I started listing reflection questions that have been dancing around in my head. Rather than picking one to write about, I decided to just put them all out there today. They could serve as food for thought for others. Here’s my list of starting points. The next step would be to take one and write as many ideas as I can for that topic. I’ll be journaling about these as the days crawl by. Pick one and give it a try:
- What things have fed my soul during this isolation?
- What don’t I miss at all?
- What do I miss most?
- What are my favorite memories of this lock down period
- What things do I now appreciate … that I maybe complained about before?
- What will I stop doing when life restarts?
- What new things have I done?
- What things do I want to do differently when I return to the world?
- What have I learned to do myself, that I never do normally?
- What have I learned about myself?
- What have I learned about my family dynamics?
- What things changed in my daily / weekly rhythm … that I want to maintain?
- How has my neighborhood been different?
- What things have I seen for the first time — either because I didn’t notice, or they weren’t there?
- Who have I grown closer to during this time?
- What new acquaintances or friends have I made?
- What new passions have I discovered?
- What people / things have been my greatest support?
- What things do I anticipate being different the next two years?
- What do I think I will feel nostalgic about when looking back on this time?
- What things have I done to cope?
- In what ways did I take advantage of this break?
- What things am I still wanting to do, that I haven’t done yet?
