Reflective Practice...

“By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is noblest; Second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third by experience, which is the bitterest.”

Confucius

Today was a College day and the subject we were asked to study was "reflective practice within our role".  We looked at different models and discussed the definition and advantages of reflection and the actions extrapolated from it.

I left feeling thoughtful. 

I started to reflect.

I realised that I do this constantly in all areas in my life, I reflect, I ponder, I worry...I claim to like (and value) change but the reality is I like the security of things staying the same.

So, I often fail to take action, to start the change process, to get rid of what is not working and to work with what is.

I think the time to take action may be near...I'll keep you posted!
