Session review 30th August

Yesterdays session was one of the best sessions we've had. I could see so many concepts flowing into that one session...
 
The session was on Respect and I think we've not explored it enough. We did a Mindmap on respect and what I got out of it was...
 
Respect = Discipline
Respect to me means respecting - feelings, choices, values, freedom of both self and others.
As I sit and ponder about it I feel that respect also includes respecting nature, respecting things, earth etc.etc.
To me each of these will also bring in awareness and hence discipline in me....
 
Today I did try just stating that I am upset. And it got everyone else even more worked up. The KEY I think is between knowing and accepting.... I know I am upset vs I accept the fact that I am upset.
 
We also had an interesting discussion on the value of rewards.
 
I found that this session linked back into -
- how to appreciate
- Habits of Mind
- Even Blooms taxonomy ( because that is where the shift has to happen for me - between knowing and applying wholeheartedly and thus synthesis)
- also the shift from unconscious incomptenece to unconsiouc competence
- And raising self-esteem
 
Listening ecercise - yet to do
 
Take care
