1. Practice the universal Loving Kindness (meditation)
exercise on p. 93.
This exercise is kind of hard for me because there are a few
people that I really love. Outside of my parents and my sisters there are only
few people. But I have my heart guarded on this one. But this one helps me to
kind of be kinder towards people. My girlfriend says I can be very mean sometimes.
And that I sometimes be rude to people, I call being truthful be she calls it
be mean. Sometimes I do have a hard time be nice. But With this exercise I can
be a little nice smile a little longer, not just at people hurt but at people’s
happiness.
2. Complete the Integral Assessment discussed in chapter 11
(p.115)
My psychospiritual aspect of life needs improvement it is not
bad but it can be better. I just had a close death in the family and it hit me
hard some days I would feel like I did not want to get out of bed. But now with
the help of family and friends and this exercise I believe can get my emotions back under control and stop
feeling so angry at this world and turn it around and be productive with it.
3. Describe the exercise and assessment process. What did
you discover about yourself? What area have you chosen to be a focus of growth
and development? Why? What are some specific exercises or activities that you
can implement to foster greater wellness in this area?
I discovered that I need to seriously focus on my life- I
tend to procrastinate and lose train of thought very easily. It hurt me in
school and the same way with my job it seems to be hard to get a grasp of
things and even do my homework. I know I
got ADHD but I would like to get off the pills and do it myself but every time I
try it is hard for me to kick it.
I am sorry to hear about your loss. It is always hard to get over something like that. My husband says that I can be mean as well. I have a good hard but I don't believe in sugar coating anything. I simply tell you how it is. I mind practice as well. By taking this class though it has help guide me in that direction. It is hard but I am willing to try to be a little nicer. I will always be guarded and careful. Thanks for sharing.
