class="dark-link perm_post"> reflekter. Det er lidt magisk, og det er en så nyttig ting, der giver dig noget helt andet end bare at være opmærksom på dit åndedræt. Der er også åbenlyse fordele ved det, men det er bare anderledes. Det er en anden muskel, du ligesom spænder, og det er dybt nyttigt i hverdagen.</p><h2 id="s9"> Praktiske konklusioner</h2><p> <strong>Cort:</strong> Så nogen afsluttende tanker? Måske kan vi afslutte denne her og invitere til lidt sund selvrefleksion over året der er gået, for jer der ser med ved årets udgang.</p><p> Jeg tror, det går tilbage til disse nøgleingredienser i sund selvrefleksion, som er at være bevidst om det - at behandle det som en praksis, man gør i korte øjeblikke i løbet af dagen. Og hvis man har tid til at gøre det som en formel meditation, er det endnu bedre. Og så virkelig at nære nysgerrighed som drivkraften bag det - hvilket i virkeligheden bare er at blive nysgerrig på sit eget sind og bemærke, hvordan sine tanker fungerer, bemærke, hvordan de former sin oplevelse. Læg mærke til, hvordan man, når man tænker anderledes om noget, som om man bevidst tager et andet perspektiv. Læg mærke til, hvad der sker. Bliv nysgerrig på det. Det bliver faktisk ret fascinerende, når man bliver en studerende af sit eget sind på den måde.</p><p> <strong>Richie:</strong> Ja. Og når man virkelig kan læne sig op ad den nysgerrighed, bliver det næsten noget legende. Man kan gribe det an med en lethed, der er meget hjælpsom.</p><p> <strong>Richie:</strong> Nej, jeg synes, vi havde en god samtale, og jeg glæder mig til at høre fra jer alle om jeres oplevelser med at eksperimentere med denne proces med sund selvrefleksion.</p><p> <strong>Cort:</strong> Ja. Ligeledes. Måske kan det være vores afskedstanke til dem af jer, der ser dette – især hvis I ser det på vores Substack, eller hvis I ser det på YouTube, kan I måske endda dele det i kommentarerne. Men jeg tror, at dette er et tidspunkt, hvor vi kan se tilbage og bare stille et simpelt spørgsmål: Hvad har jeg lært i år? Hvordan er jeg vokset i år? Og at se tilbage og reflektere over de oplevelser, I har haft fra det spørgsmåls synspunkt, og bare se de forskellige måder, I har lært og vokset på, de indsigter, I har haft og så videre.</p><p> Så måske kunne vi alle bare eksperimentere med dette, og vi vil meget gerne høre fra jer. Del lidt i kommentarfeltet i chatten og så videre – det ville være meget inspirerende for os at høre fra jer. Så vi håber, det går godt, og vi vil være meget nysgerrige efter at høre, hvad der kommer ud af samtalen. Tak til jer alle for at deltage.</p><p> <strong>Richie:</strong> Tak.</p><p> <strong>Cort:</strong> Pas på dig selv.</p> </div> </div> <div class="inline-share-icons"> <div class="d-flex align-items-center flex-wrap gap-2"> <span class="me-2 fw-semibold">Inspired?
