Reading the others postings
By looking at other group fishbowls, you can see how everyone reflects on things differently. We are all our own people and have control of our own minds. It is our job to share our thoughts and reflections with others in order to "provide a fulfilling experience to our viewers, readers, peers and colleagues".

Sharing the World: Reading our social meeting reflections
Before meeting with the other members of my group, I can admit I was a little nervous. However, after talking to them, I realized I had no reason to be nervous at all. It goes to show that even the simple act of getting food together and socializing can have a significant impact on our levels of stress. Having others that I feel comfortable talking to makes all processes much easier.

Cybernetics and your Fishbowls
The 10+1 algorithm at first was very confusing and I didn't see what I could get from it. However, after attempting it a couple times with different sentences, I saw the many benefits. For example, I start to look at words in different ways, from different view points, and create my own unique sentences. Words have many meanings and attempting to understand as many as we can is a long-term goal.

Re: Letter Reflections
"Each part in a symbiotic system is made stronger by its relationship to other parts. Think of your selected words. To connect symbiotically is to link parts to parts, make parts into systems, and join systems to other systems."
This is what I have learned to do throughout this semester. Realizing that words connect with each other more than just on paper can be extremely helpful when choosing the right words.

Re: Letter Reflections
The quote from Anaïs Nin's diary really stuck with me. "If you intensify and complete your subjective emotions, visions, you see their relation to others’ emotions. It is not a question of choosing between them, one at the cost of another, but a matter of completion, of inclusion, an encompassing, unifying, and integrating which makes maturity.”
As we mature, so does our mindset, our emotions, our reactions, our visions. This can often be a difficult road to travel as many people are worried of the uncertain. People tend to resist change by ignoring it and burying it under multiple layers of denial. We must be open to change, to new experiences, because that's the only way can grow as a person. It is how we mature.

Making Space
"Consciously or not, we feel and internalize what the space tells us about how to work"
We all have a space where we are most comfortable. Personally, mine is at my kitchen table. I like to have to ability to get up and walk around to get ideas flowing. I have a seat I like to sit in because it is coushined and I get a sense of relaxation during times that can be stressful.

A designers notes
"Designers love questions, but what they really love is ‘reframing' questions"
Reframing the question can sometimes make it easier to answer, or can lead to even more questions.
“What do I want to be when I grow up?” Is “What do I want to grow into?”
By reframing this question, it changes the way we think about it. We start looking at it 'present to future' as opposed to 'future to past'. It asks other questions like "How can I get there?" and "How should I get there?".
