A habit of
reflecting on the present and recent past can have a powerful effect on how you
see and cope with the present and the future.
Questions to ask yourself regularly include:
- What did I do related to my dissertation today? This week?
- What went well with my dissertation today? This week?
- What did I enjoy?
- When did I feel my best?
- What did not go so well, why?
- How can I avoid that, change it, think about it differently?
- What can I do to get more positives into my dissertation work all week and fewer negatives?
To get even more
from these reflection questions, write your responses in your research
journal. This gives you the opportunity
to go back over time, and look at how things have changed and monitor your
growth and development.
Today's mini-Montana photo break is from near Kalispell, in
northwest Montana. Next time, I will post an updated blog index. Do you have an issue or a
question that you would like me to discuss in a future post? Send me an email
with your ideas. leann.stadtlander@waldenu.edu
