Reflective Essay: My Emotional Health

1785 Words8 Pages

My emotional health could be better. I handle things well on the outside and in a logical manner. I make sure that I immerse myself in positive activities in order to stay away from negative things in my life. Although this is probably safe, I learned in class that I might not be spending enough time facing issues that need dealt with. If left untreated, an unhealthy emotional life can throw off another dimension of wellness. I know that through using life lessons, good advice and methods from past counselors, I am doing okay for now, but deep down, there’s things in my past that need dealt with, for me. I wish to know how to “just get over” certain things, instead of dwelling on needing closure that may never be given. My environment is probably one of my strongest dimensions of wellness.

  • Reflective Practice Essay

    874 Words  | 4 Pages

    The Latin root of the word ‘Reflection’ refers to the ‘moving back’ or getting or bending back” to something. This bending back is of significant importance in any profession, any task and any practice as suggested by Horwood (1989). Put in very simple words, every time we do something and later stop to think or ponder over what we did, how we did and why we did, consequently also thinking on what were the effects of such doing and if or how it could have been done better, then we are actually engaging ourselves in the process of reflection. Making this a part of our profession so as to bring constant improvement in the quality of our own performance is what we can say is bringing reflection to our practice; hence the term ‘Reflective Practice’ is used.
