Big Questions for Reflection…
With work, school, chores, kids, family, and technology, it can be easy to slip into a type of ‘slump’, or ‘rut’, or to find ourselves living life on auto-pilot. This may present as irritability, low motivation, or a general angst.
Here are some reflective questions for you to chew on. Oftentimes, spending some thinking power on these deeper questions can generate solutions to our current problems and can aid in getting us ‘unstuck’. Bonus points if you write your thoughts on paper.
The goal is to become more open and real with our perceptions, choices, and relationships.
