Visual Learning

The four types of wisdom exercise today was a powerful one for me. In my "real" life, I am generally the logical, systematic person of a group. This has served me well in many years of school and especially science and medical classes. Remembering that indeed I have other aspects to my personality including sensory and intuitive ones was a great way to start off today. During several of the exercises today I found myself being more present in the physical aspect of grooming and a leading a horse. Somehow this made it possible to shut off the logical, judgemental, inner-monologue that can drown out the more subtle sensations. I felt like I did a better job of reacting to my classmates and to the horses because I was paying more attention and being a little less conscious of what I was supposed to be doing. Also just being around the horses was very relaxing for me and reminded me that I'm going to need to keep things in my life balanced to survive medical school and become a good doctor.
