The exercise “Stop, Drop and Breath” that we did through the module as a class last week has been something that has come in extremely handy for me this past week!  I have a tendency to become overwhelmed and had some experiences that made just that happen.  My roommate Daniel and I are at a strange point, and the fact that I am interested in and seeing another guy has made my living situation almost unbearable… Almost every day this week I benefited from taking a break to lie on the floor and clear my mind.  It was a healing process and I believe strongly that it gave me the ability to handle the situation in a healthier manner and also a chance to really reflect on my own feelings.  Taking these breaks is helping me to understand both the problem and both of our understandings of it on a deeper level and I think they will help me to properly guide myself strategically forward and hopefully minimize this conflict.
