What is Retrospection?

Discover the value of reflection

Each day goes by as a stream of sights, sounds, events, interactions, and countless different scenarios. Each moment in time can provide a valuable learning opportunity by examining the thoughts, emotions and inner reactions of the day. But these usually go unnoticed and opportunities can be lost as time quickly passes and the next scene in life arises.

The technique of retrospection allows you to be a spectator of your own life, reviewing past scenarios in vivid detail as if they were a film, observing actions and inner responses in a detached way. In reflection, it is possible to see things more clearly, to uncover mistakes and to see thoughts, feelings and actions in a more objective way.

With retrospection, you can look back over a day, a month, a year or even an entire lifetime, taking you back to the earliest days of your childhood.

It is a powerful tool for exploring the events of life in greater depth and provides insights into the psyche that can be used in a practical way for inner change.
