Wisdom has positive impacts on physical or mental health, well-being and serenity.
Youth is often associated with enthusiasm and carefreeness while wisdom is acquired with age. “Not necessarily” reacts our psychotherapist Dana Castro. Regardless of age, wisdom, which can be linked to spirituality and reason, rather calls on several qualities that we have naturally and that we can develop over time.
So we can all gain wisdom. Being wise has positive impacts on physical or mental health, well-being and serenity. This allows you to live the most fulfilled life possible. We have a lot to learn from wise people since they have a philosophy of life and balanced and lucid behavior patterns. “They have a whole bunch of personal characteristics like kindness, humor, moderation, humility and maturity“, lists our expert. These are five typical attitudes of wise people. They act with moderation and perspective, they demonstrate judgment in their decisions and their actions.
Since the wise person knows himself well, he knows what pleases him, makes him vibrate or, on the contrary, what does not animate him. For example, during a conversation that she considers interesting, she practices “active listening” and devotes all her attention to the other person and ensures that she has had a clear message. She is sensitive to volunteering (association, community garden, etc.) or humanitarian work. In her projects, she gives her all and gets emotionally involved, while keeping in mind that mistakes are part of learning…”The idea of wisdom is to commit to what you do and to do it naturally, without forcing yourself.”emphasizes Dana Castro.
“All these qualities are similar to emotional intelligence, which is the ability to recognize, decode and understand their own emotions, but also the emotions of others with discernment and empathy.“, she indicates. There is also a proverb from the famous Chinese philosopher Lao-Tseu which says “he is wise who knows others”. In a certain way, this is true: we can consider ourselves as wise when we seek, by all the means available to us, to understand what people face in situations different from ours.
