Reflection doesn’t have to mean journaling for hours. Sometimes it’s as simple as a 60-second pause.

Try one of these quick reflection prompts today:

- What energized me today?

- When did I feel most focused?

- What might I do differently tomorrow?

Each small check-in helps your brain “close the loop” and strengthen new habits.

When we pause to review our progress, we activate self-awareness, flexibility, and problem-solving — the very skills that support independent thinking and communication.

Need a quick focus reset? 🍁

Take a “leaf walk.” Notice how many different shapes, colors, or patterns you can find. Slowing down and tuning into details helps strengthen attention—and it’s a refreshing break for the brain.

🕯️ Bonus idea: light a fall-scented candle and spend one minute focusing only on your breath and the scent.

Small practices. Big impact. 🧠✨ 🤯

You matter. Your role matters. And progress is possible.

What Are Cognitive-Communication Disorders?

💬 Have you ever had a conversation where your loved one seemed to lose their train of thought, forget what was said moments ago, or struggle to follow along?

These could be signs of a cognitive-communication disorder—a change in thinking skills that support communication, often caused by stroke, brain injury, or neurological conditions.

This month, CSL is sharing tips and resources to help caregivers understand and support loved ones through these changes.
