Integral Assessment and Universal Loving Kindness
The universal loving kindness exercise I found fairly easy to do. It felt very powerful during the meditation and I felt stronger when I finished. The assessment process was a little tougher for me to complete. Although it was very obvious to me which part needs the most work, fitness. The first reason for this is to improve overall health. Another reason for this is that I will be graduating with my Bachelor's degree in Nutrition next spring, and need to improve my fitness to show that I can apply all that I have learned. The ways that I will use to implement this into my life are to keep up with my good eating habits, and to make sure that I get to the gym as often as I can. I work at the YMCA, so I always have access to a gym, a pool, and any exercises classes that they have. This should make it much easier to obtain my goals and put my life in better balance.

Heathher,
ReplyDeleteThe loving kindness exercise was just a little difficult for me because it is hard for me to remember things, especially words, so I just remembered the important words. The assessment made me realize a lot of things about myself that I did not like. I know I should focus on the things that I do like about myself, but it is hard to focus on that at this time of my life. I will have to agree with your part about fitness, I feel the same way about myself, but I just need a kick in the butt to get me going. Even thought you work at the YMCA does not mean it will be easier for you to obtain your fitness goals. I think that maybe you are just so tired of being there for so long that you do not really want to go back on your days off. Maybe working out at home could give more of a motivation to be fit.

Hi Heather, yes you are fortunate to work at a YMCA, I wish I was so fortunate, as I am at least 30 miles from any such center. I too am on schedule to graduate next spring with my Bachelors, mine in Health and Wellness, though Nutrition may be a better fit.
