Creating time for reflection

Late last week I had the pleasure of having a couple of wisdom teeth out and was in recovery for 4 - 5 days over the long weekend. One of the advantages that this time out gave me was to reflect on the first 6 months of the year.  What had been the highlights, the learning experiences, workshops I was proud of, areas for improvement and coaching breakthroughs.  The time to reflect can often seem a luxury but it enabled me to create some space for learning and ideas.  It is often easy when we are busy both personally and professionally to not create the time but it is incredibly beneficial.  Without reflection and attention it is hard to make the mindful, changes we often aspire to.  So how often do you create time for genuine reflection
