Unit 10 post
In unit 3, I scored myself a 7 or 8 in a lot of areas and now I would give myself more an 8 or 9 always with room for improvement. I think I really did learn a lot in this class about myself and have become very aware of why and how I do things in order to make changes. There are so many great tools we learned in this course that have made a big difference in the quality of my life these days. I knew meditation was good for you but I never really realized just how good it was. I am now much calmer and focused in so many areas of my self, which is great. I have been keeping up with my daily meditations, workouts, and diet and really focusing on getter better while at the same time taking time out from work to play and let my hair down a bit more. I am learning balance, which has always been hard for me, but harmony is what I am striving for because I want my mind and body to work together from now on. I started this course not realizing how interrelated our minds and bodies where. I had read about it in theory but never did any exercise such as the subtle mind, loving kindness, to prove it to myself. I do believe now that they are one the same. I feel much more at peace with myself and have really started a new relationship with the new me. I listen more to my inner voice and I am learning to accept and change things in my life accordingly. My awareness has been taken to new heights and the world looks different to me now. I think well actually I know because I have been told by friends that I seem much more calmer and happier these days and I know it is from all I have learned in this class and have put to use. I think we lead by example and I am striving to be a good example for whomever or whatever I teach in life after my journey here is over.

Kristin, Like you, I also read about theory but didn't fully understand the implications. I like your objective, "striving for harmony". That is a great way to state it, that one area does not take precidence over another and it all works together. As I look back over my life I can see where I would obsess on one area of life thinking that fixing that will fix all of it and it just doesn't work that way! Best of luck to you, may you continue to strive and find harmony.

Well Kristin, you have hit the nail on the head for me in one word: balance.
ReplyDeleteThat is what it is all about. Achieving equilibrium, so some reasonably close facsimile! While we do tend to monitor ourselves and the various facets of our lives, it seems like we do not take corrective actions until there is a sizeable imbalance that has caught our attention. Then again, this imbalance could be due to simply not knowing or understanding the bigger picture and our role our own integral health.
Great thoughts!
