Randomisation

Introducing an element of randomness into reflection can help stimulate creativity and facilitate the exploration of less obvious connections or tapping into non-conscious processes. 

You could introduce randomisation into:

• journaling by putting narrative components on separate cards and shuffling them (like found poetry)

• concept mapping by moving concept boxes around next to other boxes and looking for unnoticed associations

• metaphor analysis by using a random word/idea generator tool (see below) and attempting to use it as a metaphor for the reflection topic or incorporate it into your narrative somehow
