Daily or weekly reflection happens whether you do it actively or not. Our minds are always reflecting back on what’s been done, and then internalizing the effects of those events. In an extreme scenario, a child who’s father leaves at a young age obviously goes through reflection – both immediately and long-term. The immediate reflection, done subconsciously, affects how that child treats other situations through their life. This is refraction.
Keep in mind, that refraction is a term that I personally use. I’m not sure if it’s used by anyone else with the same definition, but as long as you know what I’m referring to that’s really all that matters.
My goal is to consciously reflect and refract as much as possible, so that the subconscious reflecting and refracting that is going to happen whether I like it or not tends to follow more closely what I am consciously doing. Below are a few notes for you to absorb about reflection and refraction:
- Daily, consciously feel the effects of your day. Accept them for what they are.
- Look for decisions or thoughts you would change, feel how the outcome may have been different.
- Accept that you cannot change what has already happened, but be thankful you will make a different choice next time.
To be clear, refraction doesn’t necessarily mean you made a wrong choice and you need to change, though it can mean that. Refraction can also deal with a situation you feel that you could be catapulting into a bigger, better situation – but you’re just not taking action.
Feel free to leave comments and questions below. This is a newer topic I’m still figuring out how to write clearly on.

As long as we are reflecting with good intentions, its all good.
