Listening To Our Inner Wise Woman
7 journal prompts for the wise woman road
I often talk about walking the Wise Woman's road. I thought that I’d share the following explanation by Judith Stafford, as it sums it up perfectly.
“The Wise Woman archetype can be found throughout many cultures and religions. She is often seen as a powerful, wise figure who can help and guide others.
If you look up the word wisdom, it means ‘someone who has the experience, knowledge and good judgement.’
I would also include the following as traits:
Being authentic and trusting your intuition
Learning from your mistakes
Independent and resourceful
Open to learning new things
Being non-judgemental as they are aware that they are not perfect
Wanting to work for the common good rather than self-interest
When times are difficult, choose the path of compassion and love instead of anger or resentment.
Whatever your definition of a wise woman is, she is someone we should all aspire and work to become.” Judith Stafford
As we walk this road and have been listening to the quiet this first half of the month, why don’t we take a few minutes to reflect? I’ve posted seven journal prompts below to help guide your thoughts.
