The exercise basically had you saying to yourself that you
want others to be healthy, happy, whole, free from suffering, and etc. it wasn’t
just about yourself the exercise seems like you are praying for others. You are
opening your heart towards other individuals and not just yourself. The assessment
was kind of like prayer also but it more about yourself and where you need
healing, growth, and development to take place at. I liked both the exercise
and the assessment either way though. The area that I would like to focus on in
my life is interpersonally. I have always been the type who tries to make it
seem likes everything is ok when it’s not. There can be a million and one
things bothering but I won’t admit. When it finally does come out is when more
and more problems are just loaded on top of the first one and then I just
finally blow, especially when someone pushes the wrong button. I need to learn
how to deal with my problems and not try to make it seem like there is nothing
wrong.
My husband used to be just like that too, he has worked on his holding things in and is doing much better and he is so much happier. I guess if I looked at the exercise like a prayer then it makes it seem better. When I did it is was a little too repetitive for me and did not get to a complete relaxing state. The assessment was good, I just need to spend more time on myself, I give so much of me that I do not take time for myself.
ReplyDeleteI completely understand the type of person you are describing because I do the same things at times. I have worked on this for years, I also have a habit of not wanting to upset others so I just hold it in until you just cant take it. I know that it is probably very unhealthy to do this and yet it still seems like there are times when you do it anyways. I do think I have gotten better about it, since I have learned how much better you can feel by just discussing it early on instead of waiting. Good post!
ReplyDeleteHello Margaret! Your post was great, and to the point! I also enjoyed both the exercises. They both allowed me to focus in a quiet state of mind. I chose the interpersonal part of my life that I would like to work on. Spending more time alone and focusing more on my needs is a must. I'm always busy and I need to focus more on myself.
