Loving Kindness and Integral Assessment

Hi everyone! I think that I finally got the hang of this! So, when I practiced the Loving Kindness exercise, it made me think of some of the people that give me a hard time and that it is because they themselves are suffering in a way and lashing out on whoever they can. I keep my distance from these people (or at least try to) but it made me think that maybe I should not shove them away, maybe I should try to help them. Everyone has difficulties in their lives, some just deal with it better than others. As for the Integral Assessment exercise, I focused my growth on interpersonal and worldly sources of my difficulty and suffering. I want to focus my growth on these two areas because I do not believe or have confidence in myself a lot of times, which holds me back from doing a lot of things that I would like to do and this then leads to me not being too social because of the lack of confidence. All of this can really cause me problems when looking into furthering my career from my BS. I am practicing the meditation and breathing exercises that I have read from this course so far and also exercising again, to help release that good feeling of being healthy and in control of my body again. It is helping so far, so I am going to continue with these exercises and hopefully learn more exercises to practice in this class.
