Our Identity and the Statement we use to describe it come from many sources—some we’re aware of, some not so much. Common sources of identity are our family, community and self. All of these sources tell us who we are, what we should do with our lives, what we’re good at, and where we struggle. It’s healthy to consider their input, and then decide what to keep and what to ignore or discard as you build your identity.
Reflection is critical to learning. It taps into our Spiritual Intelligence, an inner awareness below the level of consciousness. It triggers emotions which act as cognitive markers to facilitate memory. The science shows these activities will increase both memory and understanding, so we recommend that you truly invest in them.
