What have I handled badly lately?
Sometimes the hardest part of reflection is admitting when we didn’t handle something well.
Not because we’re terrible people. Not because our feelings weren’t valid. But because having a valid feeling doesn’t always mean we expressed it in the right way.
Maybe there’s something you need to apologize for. Maybe there’s something you wish you had said differently. Or maybe you let frustration build quietly until it finally came out in a way you weren’t proud of.
You don’t need to bring up an already-resolved battle. This is simply a place to be honest with yourself and resolve some of your own feelings on paper.
What happened?
What part was yours to own?
And if you could handle it again, what would you do differently?

A glimpse at my own reflection:
I am not proud of the anger I have expressed over the last 48 hours. But I also recognize that I had been taking a passive approach to this situation for far too long, and eventually I let my feelings get the best of me.
That doesn’t excuse how I handled it. It simply helps me understand how I got there.
I can apologize for my part without pretending my feelings weren’t real. And I can learn from this without beating myself up over it.

Take a moment for yourself.
Pour your thoughts onto the page.
Be honest with yourself.
No need for perfect words or profound thoughts.
Just the real you.
