Love and Kindness Exercise
The universal Love and Kindness exercise had us relax and empty our minds and focus on this saying:
May all individuals gain freedom from suffering.
May all individuals find sustained health, happiness, and wholeness.
May I assist all individuals in gaining freedom from suffering.
May I assist all individuals to find sustained health, happiness, and wholeness.
We repeated this saying for 10 minutes. I feel that this made me focus on others and trying to help them and showed me that helping others is important to help myself grow and to help others know that people really do care about them.
Integral Assessment
When doing the Integral Assessment we had to close our eyes and focus on our psychospiritual, biological, interpersonal, or worldly and see what aspects of my life need to be focused on. I choose interpersonal to focus on since I do not have very many close friends because I have a hard time trusting people and often do not find the time to go out and make new friends since I work full time, am a full time student, and I have children. I feel it is important to have friends and people to talk with and rely on and I am going to try to make more time to get out and meet new people.
