Reflect And Adjust

As we navigate through life, it's important to stop and look at our current priorities and routines. Making changes to your normal routine makes you more flexible, and allows you to expect the unexpected as you meet new people and set new goals.

Self-reflection is commonly defined as "taking time to think about and evaluate your behaviors, attitudes, and motivations. With this in mind, it's clear that self-reflection is very valuable for healthy development and healthy mindsets.

This TEDTalk, presented by James Schmidt, sheds light on how youth can use self-reflection to be more productive, focused, and how to change goals and objectives that are no longer useful.
