The loving kindness exercise was quite difficult to remember the words while trying to stay relaxed and focused. I often lost the flow of words and then my focus was gone. I think saying the words outs loud is more difficult than thinking them in your head. However the message was a great thing to say out loud and send out to the ones in need.
Intergral Assesment of Annie
My source of difficulty is in my interpersonal aspects of my life. My interpersonal aspects are something I find hard to control and I like knowing and preparing for my future. Its a place in my life where I feel like no matter what I do I will not be able to change everything. I think I need development and growth in each line of development. The biggest development will be from the mind to soul. I need to work on the inner me instead of focusing on the outside world
The biggest and harderst exercise that I need to incorporate into my development is mediatation and relaxation. Being type A personality, its hard to sit in one place at a time and just think. Controlling my thoughts is going to be a challenge but I am going to work at it.
Annie,
ReplyDeleteI agree with you that the exercise was difficult to keep up with. I also found that thinking them was more effective than saying the thoughts out loud. Trying to keep up with the narrator was what I was focusing on too. After I got the clear message the narrator was trying to convey I repeated the steps in my mind saying them to myself. I think this exercise helped remind me that there are so many folks out there that are in more need than me. I always forget how blessed I am. I have a few post-its on my mirrors that are people or things in my life that I am greatful for. Just a simple reminder. Good blog this week :)
