Unit 6 :Integral Assessment

For this week I gave the Loving Kindness a few more tries. I discovered that it is getting a little easier but it is still a huge challenge for me to concentrate. With moving out of my house that I have called home with my boyfriend of three years, to separating possessions and dealing with leaving my dog I have had a few things on my mind. I hope that with more time I will be able to fully benefit from this practice.

The integral assessment was good. I discovered that I have quite a few areas that need work. Right now the most important for me to focus on is the emotional and personal relationships that I have with those around me. I feel like both areas are extremely important at this time because of everything I have been going through lately. Some activities that I can implement to increase my wellness in these areas are writing. I have found that to keep my daily thoughts and feeling jotted down it helps me to see how I deal with my emotions. Being able to assess emotions later when I am not upset has helped me to see how incorrectly I deal with them at times of frustration. As for my personal relationships I can visualize having fun times and planning events that will lead to happiness and not harboring feelings of loneliness or sadness.
