THE POWER OF REFLECTION

THE POWER OF REFLECTION 

In moments of quiet reflection, gratitude illuminates our journey. When we look back with thankfulness, we see how every twist and turn has shaped us into who we are meant to become.

Here’s Jeremiah Doodle-Dumpling with a few tips on:

WRITING OUR YEAR IN REVIEW

As we draw closer to 2025, most of us like to work out our New Year resolutions or set fresh goals. But before moving forward, one of the most powerful things we can do for both ourself, and our spiritual well-being, is to pause, and take a quick reflection backward. 

Hi, my name is Jeremiah Doodle-Dumpling, and I am the ‘Story-Keeper’ here at ‘Once Upon A Time’. I’m responsible for archiving everything that happens at Faery Wood (Both ‘what worked’ AND ‘what didn’t’). I’ve witnessed both the highs and lows for generations of Coddle-Poppers, and nobody understands the consequences of poor choices better than me.

Invest some time to review 2024, our wins, losses, lessons, and pivotal moments. This is pure gold, because these provide us with useful clarity, it creates gratitude, and sets the stage for more achievable progress.

REFLECTION

It Reveals Growth: When we take note how just far we’ve come, even the  small improvements feel significant. Little victories are important.

Adjusts Perspective: Nothing happens TO us, life happens FOR us. By writing down our challenges, it helps us see them as lessons rather than failures. Everything is either a lesson, or a blessing.

Firm Footings for Future Goals: Understanding the past makes it easier for us to set realistic, and aligned, intentions for the year ahead. 

HOW TO WRITE OUR YEAR IN REVIEW

Quiet Time
Find a calm quiet spot where you won’t be disturbed. Turn off notifications and give yourself the mental whitespace to focus. 

Questions/Insights

What was one achievement that you’re the most proud of?

What challenges did you face, and how did you handle them?

What moments brought you the most joy or fulfillment?

What did you learn about yourself?

Feelings
Go beyond listing events. Write about how the experiences made you FEEL.

This emotional insight, uncovers what truly matters to you. 

Patterns & Themes
Look for recurring patterns. Maybe you repeatedly chose curiosity over fear, or you realized that investing in relationships was a game-changer. These themes often give us clues towards our priorities and values. 

Gratitude
Finish by noting three things that you’re grateful for. It may be people, experiences, or even lessons! This practice of gratitude, helps us shift our focus towards positivity, and abundance. 

Onwards

Reflection isn’t just a look backward; it’s a launchpad for what comes next. By writing down our experiences and discoveries, we give ourself a clearer roadmap into the New Year, one that is anchored in self-awareness and genuine intention.

So, as we close the chapter on 2024, remember that every step (triumphs and trials alike), has shaped who we are today. Embrace the wisdom gained, celebrate our growth, and step into the New Year with renewed purpose.

SPIRITUAL QUEST

If you wish to discover more about yourself and how life operates, please check out our Faery Wood Spiritual Quest. It’s a Spiritual Warriors handbook/Awakening Journal, complete with audio and exercises. A hard copy is also available. It walks us through our patterns, awareness, triggers, forgiveness, acceptance, intentions, purpose and many more areas of our life such as change.

You can find more details here: https://thefrequency.center/spiritual-quest/

IMPORTANT: Our mind is a magnet. When we think of blessings, we attract blessings. Likewise, when we think of problems we attract problems too. So we need to do our best to make sure to always have good thoughts and be positive.

More mindfulness tips incoming, but until the next time, keep smiling, and together we’ll change the world – one act of kindness at a time.

MORE ABOUT JEREMIAH DOODLE-DUMPLING (EDITOR’S NOTES)

We are each a ‘Spirit’ (part of Source/Creator/God, insert your own Divinity here) having a ‘Human’ experience. Our life on Earth is an encyclopedia of experiences laid out FOR us (by prior agreement), in order for us to LEARN and GROW. Through ‘Natural Law’,  no Coddle-Popper, Spirit Guide, Faery, nor Angel are allowed to intervene on our behalf unless specifically asked or invited by us, for fear of karmic intervention.

To work around this, Jeremiah Doodle-Dumpling is able to ‘suggest’ ideas through the power of meditation (as if it were our own thinking). If you get the opportunity, please check out his ‘Points to Ponder’ blog posts, as they are profound suggestions in order for us to meditate what is actually meant. 

Allow the suggestions to digest and percolate. It is intended as to tool to enhance our discernment skills. You’re welcome.
