Loving Kindness and Integral Assessment
Loving Kindness
(meditation) exercise I did not appreciate it at first. I did have to try and
relax and do it again. The second time was better because I was just in the room
alone and my wife and daughter went out to the store. I took the time and tried
to clear my mind which, this time was a little better, but not perfect when you
have a million things going on it is hard to focus but I did. It was just okay
to me.
The assessment I
enjoyed much more it was a broader spectrum which forced you to think about all
that goes on in your life but then pin point the things that most standout now
like relationship, work, health and family. Right now my list fall in the order
of family, health and work. Family is most important but what is funny you
would have ask me 2weeks ago I would have said work because most of my focus
and energy went into what was building with my job. So because of that this
week its been about my family because I miss them.
So this week I made
sure I got off a little earlier so I wasn’t coming home and kissing them
goodnight going to bed waking up and they were still a sleep, I planed my
weekend around them and involved them in whatever I was doing. For example I
taught a boot camp class and wife participated and help me prepare our daughter
came along and was great, she slept in he carriage for the 2 classes.
I try and balance my life or juggle for a better word because this week it could be family and next week work and so on. You just need to take time and assess your life weekly to try and prevent you from being overwhelmed or stressed.

Hey Sherlock,
ReplyDeleteIt's definitely hard at times to balance all of the things we are expected to do day to day. I think it's great that you realized your work was getting in the way of family time and took action to fix that this week! I'm sure they appreciated that as well! It sounds like work is very important to you though. Do you think that you put work ahead of your health a lot? I know I do because my hours are crazy which pretty much completely throws me off of any hope of a regular eating pattern! What did you do this week that allowed you to focus your energy on something other than work? I need to learn how to rearrange in order to focus on the more important things some times!
Hey erin,
DeleteIts a matter of discipline and just wanting what is best for me, my health my well being. Erin your not good to nobody sick and unhealthy and you are surely not good to yourself. you sometimes have to put yourself first and say is what i am doing more important than your happiness and sanity
