week 6 exercise

In doing both the loving-kindness exercise and the assessment process I have come to a better understanding of just where i sit in the scheme of things. Some of what I found I care not to share. Other things I have found were that I sometimes have an inate ability to put people at ease when facing life struggles. I am sure that is part of what makes me a fairly good nurse. I look at each person who I care for as a way to promote human flourishing by alleviating needless pain and suffering. The area that I think needs the most growth and development is the area of self-esteem. Feeling confident in my decisions has never been a strong suit for me. Even when I am working as a nurse, when important decisions need to made I often feel obligated to check with another nurse to see if what I have decided is the proper thing to do. To help with this process I have implamented the Rainbow meditaion as well as HALT and the breathing exercises. I seem to be able to follow these exercises the easiest and so be more apt to follow them over extended periods of time.I know that the assessment was made to help us understand where we needed the most growth but I fonund that some of the exercises did nothing more than dig up sore spots in my life that are better left untouched.
