Prof and class, in completing the universal Loving-Kindness meditation and the Integral Assessment on myself I found that the meditation exercise had an effect on my mood and personification of my surroundings. I found in the assessment that the biological aspect needs the most attention. I feel that this is my greatest need for improvement because of the current schedule I process. I work too many hours and have no time to take care of myself and the health of my body. In the effort to help get back into shape I have started parking at the back of the lot at work and walking to the door instead of taking the shuttle. I have also decided to cut the sugary drinks and coffee from my routine and start drinking more juice and eating three balance meals a day. Thanks Sam

Sam,
ReplyDeleteI think that taking care of ourselves is a top priority, especially when we are overlooking the need to take care of ourselves. It sounds like you work a lot. I am wondering how you cope with the stresses of everyday work. Could it be possible that you also need the meditative practices as well to de-stress? I know that these have been very beneficial and before the Health and Wellness class I would not have realized their importance in my everyday life.
I think you are right about the loving kindness exercise. It has helped to shape my feelings and my thoughts about my surroundings too. Take for instance, that my house is still in disarray since the flood or the issues my kids have been posing in my life. I am thankful that this class has helped me to just experience it and let it go. I am glad that I can be frustrated and leave it be for a while and not let it consume me.
Thanks for sharing your experiences and thoughts on the subject.
