Time is going by very quickly, and many of us feel like we are constantly on the go. With the summer holidays ending for many people and the start of some busy months ahead, it is an excellent time for us to check in with ourselves and see how we are doing. Your physical, mental, and emotional health  
 
In this blog post, we will reflect on ten questions that help us dig deeper into our well-being.  
 
Reflection Questions 
Spending time reflecting on your well-being is crucial. The following questions help me get deep and discover my true feelings.  
  1. What is one word that you would use to describe how you are feeling? 
  2. How are you doing mentally? 
  3. Does your body feel healthy?  
  4. When last did you smile, or were you happy? 
  5. What was the last thing that made you sad? 
  6. What are you excited about for the future? 
  7. What are you concerned about? 
  8. Who are the people in your life to your tribe?  
  9. What lessons have you learned recently? 
  10. What do you like about yourself? 
 
MC's Check-In 
This year has been a good and very different year for me. The progress that I have made this year was in areas I did not expect and was not prepared for. The most valuable lesson I have learned this year is to embrace new experiences even when I'm afraid. Planning for the year has been a practice that has helped me stay on top of my busy life as a working mother, wife, and coach. The main thing that was different this year was that there were a lot of unknowns which made having a well-defined plan difficult. So I did the next best thing, I went on the journey and planned my immediate next steps. There have been some surprises along the way that have taught me to get more comfortable with the unknown. 
 
If you ask me how I am doing, I can say I am mentally and emotionally well. However, there are areas that I want to keep improving upon. The first of them is the ability to sit still and not feel that I need to be doing something. This past weekend, I volunteered at our son's school and had one of the first quiet moments in a very long time. I kept thinking about ways to multi-task while I arranged books in the school library. The pressure to utilize every minute of my day is something I feel very often. Thankfully, on this day, I convinced myself that the moment was a gift to be in my thoughts and listen to music in peace. 
 
As I think about things that will bring me more joy over the next months, I really want to be at peace and enjoy my life. Embracing the new and unexpected is necessary for the journey that I am on this year. I am thankful for all the life experiences that have taught me that I thrive in uncertainty and that there will always be beautiful things I get to celebrate.  
 
Final Thoughts 
We have one life to live, and I really hope that you are doing well. If you are not feeling your best, do the things that help you be your best self. And if you need additional help, please find what you need. Everyone is at different stages of their lives. Please be kind to yourself.
