Hello Professor and Class:

This week was exciting and enlightening.  I learned a lot about myself and learned some new coping mechanisms.  The Loving Kindness exercise was fun but I found it hard to really meditate.  It made me think about all the people I hold anger towards.  It always made me think about why I was so angry at this people and I now regret the way I spoke to them.  I was not really mean but I think I could of tried to understand them more before I jumped to conclusions about their attitudes.  For instance, I have this one teacher who never seems available to help me as a substitute for classes at the gym.  She is always telling me she is busy.  I immediately get angry and assume this job is not important to her.  I find out through another teacher that this other teacher is a Neuro Surgeon and the teaching job is her way of dealing with the stress of her job.  Now I feel horrible because my assumption was way off.  I have so much respect for her and feel really bad for the way I reacted.

The Integral Assessment was enlightening.  I found my weakness to be in Interpersonal Flourishing and Biological Flourishing.  I have a lot of issues with my children, one has anger issues and the other has Aspergers.  They are 17 and 20 years old.  I really do not like coming home because of all the trauma and loud noise in my home.  I think I would get a second job if it were not for my two dogs that I love and keep me sane.  I also have a hard time eating healthy.  I stress eat and the foods that make me sick I still eat when I am stressed.  I am trying very hard to control this and the meditation exercises are helping. 

My goal is to continue with daily meditation.  In addition, I am taking long walks with my dogs everyday.  I love walking alone because I can think and take in the beauty of nature.  This relaxes me and I can return home relaxed and able to deal with family issues.
