Wow! This week was a really tough week for me. Last week I had two projects, two seminars, one exercise, a blog and two discussions; no problem. This week? I just had to do a blog, discussions, seminars and a quiz; I can barely catch my breath. Ok…deep breath…I am better now, just need to vent a little.
From all the blogs that I have been following, everyone seems like they really like the Loving-kindness exercise. I on the other hand have so much trouble staying focus; my mind just goes where it wants to go. I find myself adding the subtle mind exercise to help me reel in my mind and then I can continue on with my Loving-kindness activity. This exercise will require a lot of practice.
While I was laying on my bed doing the Integral Assessment on myself, my mind was running wild and free. I feel like I have no peace or control over my thoughts this week. Maybe it is because I am getting ready for my in-laws to come in from out of town for my husband’s graduation this Friday. I definitely think that I need to work on my psychospiritual, and interpersonal aspects. Above all else, I need to find a quite time for myself and get control of my mind.
Like I mentioned above, I really like the subtle mind exercise and I find that particular breathing method is a big help for me. So I think that will be my focus for the next couple of days.
