With this weeks first exercise and saying the four phrases over and over again for ten minutes, which by the way I didn't last ten minutes was helpful. It almost makes you feel at peace with whatever is related to with these phrases. I think to myself that I can help people as long as they want help. You can attempt to help others with freedom from suffering and with health, happiness and wholeness but if they don't truly seek this then your efforts will come on deaf ears.
For the assessment I chose to focus on interpersonal life, because I just recently went through a tough breakup and need to focus on myself and my views of the people around me. I wouldn't say this is the most essential but it is the one that light is being shinned on the most currently. I hope to aim for trust within myself and with others. I hope to gain confidence in my decisions once again and only wish good things for others. The area that I need growth and development in is the same as what I need growth in. Waiting to spend my life with someone on a personal basis who is right in every way for me. I hope with time and healing this will happen for me. Until then I will wish nothing but good wishes for others.

Hi Jenni,
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about your break-up. I know you will find the right person soon when it’s the right time. I also had trouble repeating for 10 minutes. But believe what I repeated and for the time did actually stuck with me because I remembered through the day and for a couple days. It is so difficult sitting for that amount time I kept drifting off in a way that I was thinking about what I could be doing in the time I am spending repeating words.
