unit 10

1. The only assessment that has changed for me is psychological which is huge for me I would say I went from a 5 to a 6 during this class because I have been much more aware of my thoughts and feelings and changing negative thoughts when they start. I have also been meditating every day for at least 10 minutes and up to 30 minutes daily. I hope I can continue with this. 2. I have really been concentrating on my psychological well being because that is what really needs more attention and as above I have made great improvements compared to before taking this class. The other aspects spirit and physical have not changed so much because I am focusing my time on what I think really needs it. 3. No, only the psychological area because that's where I feel I need to concentrate right now. 4. This class has really helped me a lot as far as concentrating on my mental well being and I have been doing really well taking care of this every day even just for 10 minutes a day. I developed improved well being. The most difficult was the loving/kindness exercises, one step at a time always a work in progress. I feel I am better able to assist others because I myself have felt the benefits of concentrating on my mind and spirit as well as the physical.

    Hi Lisa,
    That is great that you have seen improvement in the area you wanted to work on the most. I like the exercises as they show that negative thoughts are just thoughts and are not something we have to act on. That may be the hardest for most of us because it is hard to not act on our thoughts. Ten minutes a day is a good start and with practice and over time the scores will get even better. Good luck.

    Hi Barbara - the meditation was a bit difficult for me at first but then it became easier. I think once we get our mind into it we are in the game! Good luck

    hey Lisa - the loving kindness was hard for me too and my numbers did not change too much either. They were high to begin with so not sure I did that piece right. I am not too focused on the numbers but more focused on what I have learned and how to apply it. For me, I do need to read the book again to ensure that I understand and retain it more. But soulds like you are aware of it and this what matters

    Hi Lisa,
    It sounds to me like you have weighed your options on what you need right now and are focusing on balancing those out first. That is good, I am the same way, because I always tell people around me that I pick and choice my battles one at a time. That way I can accomplish one before the other. It is just a matter of prioritizing, right? I really wish you well, and good luck on your remaining time at Kaplan.
