Developing Wisdom through Reflective Practice
Wisdom - Combining Experience, Knowledge, and Good Judgement
We’ve been huge fans of Reflective Practice. As much as we would like to believe we are experiencing reality, the truth is, we are processing all the information through out five senses, as well as passing this through our values and beliefs, and past experiences.
This means we can never experience reality! Therefore, when we are having an emotional reaction to a situation, how can we ever be sure that what we are reacting to, is actually the case?!
Two questions are critical: What am I making it mean? What else could it mean? We make meaning of everything we experience, and sometimes that meaning is so far from what it might mean.
To help you, we’ve created our digital Reflective Journal. This will allow you to record situations and incidents - interactions with others, and process your thoughts and feelings to understand what you think happened, to challenge your beliefs and assumptions, and to come to a more informed conclusion.
Happy Reflecting! And remember, learning from past experiences i.e. reflecting - helps develop greater wisdom!
