Unit 10
I think my assessment of myself has stayed the same I am not saying I have not had any growth I have just had some setbacks that meant I had to climb back to where I was in order to get where I am going. Psychologically I have been dealing with a lot and sometimes it is easier to demolish somethings and start over instead of trying to fix from where you left off. That being said I realized I needed to know why I was feeling the way I did. It is a journey that I am still on. My spirit has taken a beating but I feel that it will soar once again soon. This class has taught me that I needed to really spend some time alone and really listen to what my body has to say. I have learned to evaluate if something is really important or is something I can do later because it is better for me to do what is right for me. For me loving kindness was a big issue because it has been hard for me to say no or to not speak up when I should, I had to learn to practice saying no or speaking out. It felt good not to feel guilty about stuff and being able to say no with love and know that the world won't fall apart.

Layne,
ReplyDeleteYou have expressed yourself very well! There is much wisdom in your ideas :) I'm wondering if life ever stops giving our spirit a beating. Geez, if that's the case, I'm thinking daily meditation is the only way to remain constant...it's certainly a practice I never want to let go of, I know that, especially since it ranks right up there with my sugar addiction ;)
Wishing you all the best!
Namaste,
This is the first time that I have visited your blog Layne and I wish that I had found you sooner. Just by reading your final assessment I am believing that you really had some interesting things to say throughout the course. I too have a terrible time saying no. I feel that if someone asks me to do something that I am obligated when actually we need to be able to separate what is important and that we have time for from what is not essential in our life. I have had so much going on in my life the last few months, and I believe that learning some things can wait has saved me from going crazy from stress. It is great that you have realized the same thing. We just don't have time to please everyone, and trying to isn't worth the stress we cause ourselves. We are always going to have setbacks, and what is important is knowing how to bounce back from them. I wish you the best, and hope that your path to integral health becomes easy to follow.
