This was a good exercise. It's a positive thing. It helps me to send kindness to others. Stop focusing on myself and wanting kindness and good health to be sent to others. I found myself doing this in my mind for others this week. When I would see someone that looked like they were having a hard day, I started to say all this in my mind. I hope that it helped that person, but I know that I felt better in the day because I was wanting someone to feel better.
My personal assessment: My eating habits are affected by my habits. If my daily schedule is so busy I tend to just grab something to eat. My priorities are my family, my dogs, our office, my schoolwork. Then lastly myself. I need to focus more on myself to balance my life. This will create less stress. This is an ongoing process.

Hi Tiffany,
ReplyDeleteUniversal Loving-Kindness is a very good exercise. As you I found myself sending out kindness to others too. It is easy for me to send out kindness to others who are not close to me out side of my children I find it hard to show the same kindness to my husband. If I could use my mind the way you have shown here maybe I can share more loving-kindness to him as well. Thank you for sharing..

You are right that you need to focus on yourself first. It can be really hard to take time for yourself during a busy day but you need to develop your physical, mental, and spiritual self in order to become a whole person. I think that if you did this, you would have better relationships and a stronger positive outlook!
