Unit 6 Loving-Kindness
I enjoyed the loving kindness exercise. It reminded me of another class that I am enrolled in. One section of the course is the different types of meditation. The loving kindness exercise reminded me of mantra. Mantra is a type of mental repetition (something is produced over and over again. The loving kindness exercise can be verses or positive phrases that you repeat to reinforce positive self-esteem.
I discovered that I have a lot of distractions in my life. I need to stop allowing my family to depend on me so much. I have chosen to focus on interpersonal. I need to focus on spending time alone with myself. It will allow me to focus on what is important to me. In order for me to create a clearer level of wellness, I need to learn to take time for myself and my quality of life. I spend a lot of time giving of myself unselfishly. I am a very open hearted person.

What you said about allowing your family to depend on you stood out to me. I don’t regret it because I love being a part of my nieces and nephews lives but in a lot of ways, I have put my life on hold to be available to them. I guess that is a balance I am going to need to find – time with them but time for me as well.
ReplyDeleteHow are you reading your blog is now making me rethink what i discovered about myself because my family depends on me a lot which i have no problem because im the oldest but at times becomes very over whelming and stresses me out. I believe I need to work on my self needs more then my family because If Im not able to take care of my self properly I want be able to look after my love ones when really needing my help. Enjoyed reading your post you have gave me another perspective to look over now in my life.
