Reflections
These reflections are simple tools you can use to slow things down, think more clearly, or make sense of what you are feeling.
They are not instructions.
They are not rules.
You do not need to complete them in order.
Each template stands alone. You can use one, skip one, or return to the same one many times.
Most people use these privately. Sharing is always optional.
How to use the reflections
You can:
- read a reflection and stop there
- write a few words or sentences
- sit with the questions without answering them
- come back later
There is no correct way to use these.
If something feels unhelpful, you are allowed to stop.
A note about safety and sharing
These reflections are designed for reflection, not confession.
If you find yourself wanting to write about something that could harm you or someone else if shared publicly, it is usually better to take that to:
- a sponsor
- a trusted friend or family member
- a professional who offers confidentiality
Choosing the right place to share is part of taking care of yourself.
Available Reflections
When Everything Feels Urgent
For moments when your mind is pushing you to act quickly or fix something immediately.
Sitting With Discomfort
For learning how to stay present with uncomfortable thoughts or feelings without reacting.
If This Is Not Helping
For times when tools, advice, or conversations are making things feel worse rather than better.
After a Slip or Setback
For reflecting calmly after something has gone wrong, without shame or self punishment.
When Things Feel Quiet
For recognising progress during calm or uneventful periods that might otherwise be overlooked.
Each reflection opens as its own page. You can bookmark the ones that help.
Take your time
You do not need to work through all of these.
Use what fits today.
Leave the rest.
