Moments of Agency

Here’s another reflective exercise best done during a ‘quiet hour.’ Take a moment to recognise the decisions that brought you to where you are today:

  • What education did you pursue and how did it help you become the person you are today?
  • What are your experiences in acquiring new skills or training? Outline any benefits gained, even if you wouldn’t choose the same path again.
  • What city are you living in and how do you use the opportunities it offers you?

While it might sometimes feel like chance played a role in reaching your current point, it’s essential to acknowledge that you are where you are not solely due to external forces (some might call them fate or luck), but also because of decisions you made along the way that felt right at the time.

Can you identify a sense of agency, a feeling of being in control, when you think about these decisions?
