Practices

Let me be honest here. It was really hard for me to keep up with all the meditations I have learned in the class. I figured that practicing alone is much harder than practicing as a group in the class where I felt connected and supported.

 Since I need to make a commitment what I am going to do for this semester, I tried many practices- Pilates, three-word check-in, prayer, volunteering, etc. All of these, I tried more than 3times in the past weeks and they helped me to focus on myself.

·         Pilates: helped me to engage with my body

·         three-word check-in: helped me to analyze my state of mind and where my energies are

·         prayer: helped me to be spiritual and hopeful
·         volunteering: helped me to develop the spiritual qualities such as Ethic of caring, Charitable involvement, and Ecumenical Worldview.

I do not have a solid plan for what I am going to do yet, but I am looking forward to practice whatever it would be. Also, I am very excited about our “Mindful meals”.

*Usually, I ask someone to review my paragraphs or papers because I make MANY grammar mistakes. I have been pushing myself hard in past years to finish my writing assignment a head of the times-so that the person can have enough time to review. However, I decided to encourage myself, approach to people as who I am. In this case, showing my writing as it is.  Therefore, you will see many mistakes in my writing. Feel free to give me feedback or ask me for clarification if there are sentences you don’t understand. Thank you for being so mindful! :)
