Loving Kindness (meditation) exercise/Integral Assessment

 

Hello again everyone:)

I have to say out of all the weekly exercises we do I love the loving kindness exercises. I feel that the people around me including my self really do benefit from these exercises. My boyfriend recently was hospitalized and has been really sick and not feeling well so I did this exercise with him. I love doing these exercises because I helps me to strengthen my healing skills. My boyfriend still has some medical issues but as a whole his feels better about his recovery and now has a positive mindset. I think that is the differences in recovery you must have a positive mindset to begin the process of healing.

The assessment process I have to do twice the first time I did it I seemed to go more towards mediation. But once I re did this exercise I was able to focus a lot more. The area I choose to focus more is the biological and worldly aspect.  I choose biological because I feel like out of all the quadrants I sometimes lack on this area. I would like to work on my diet. I do not eat horrible but I now I can do a lot better with my diet choices. The second aspect I choose to improve on was worldly. Now usually I do not have a problem in this area but with everything going on in my life this sometimes takes a back seat. I not that I have to be an active member of my community I think its super important to do so. So this week I made it my mission to make better diet choices and do a least one volunteer act.

The week I made much better diet choices by watching my sugar. I have a problem in eating way to much sugar. I picked foods that are low in carbs and sugars. I also gave blood to the American Red Cross and I volunteered at a soup kitchen though my church. This week was a great week for me.
