To reflect is to change, even change that creates friction at times! Apply novel approaches and you encounter ruts inside the human brain. Have you seen it happen? Transformation, especially ethical renewal that adds dividends for all, takes risk! To move stagnant mental eddies into rushing waterfalls requires novel approaches, and an ability to admit mistakes. What changes would improve your situation today?
Change works best when times are tough. Nor does it take a genius to agree that improvements rarely take hold in toxic work settings. Several broken systems currently in this country present ideal grounds for innovation, that bypasses the brain’s proclivity for ruts. When creativity touches down on grounds furrowed for growth, improvement finds its chance to root and grow. Have you encountered that?
Hard and soft skills no longer work, since lasting change involves solutions that draw from and integrate multiple intelligences.
Use smart skills and you also question, target, expect move and reflect – to create new neuron pathways to improvement. Without questions – find passivity. Without expectations – find sloppiness. Without movement find wasted talents. Without reflections – find stagnation. How so?

5. Reflect to Ensure Change is an Ongoing Practice for Improvements.
Check out how it works:
Smart skill 41 = Reflect to Extend Daily Reach
Smart skill 42 = Reflect for Runways in Depression
Smart skill 43 = Reflect – then Leap like Lauren
Smart skill 44 = Reflect on Life-Changing Brain Facts

Smart skill 47 = Reflect Past Wall St. Prostitutes
Smart skill 48 = Reflect for Brainier Online Results
