Loving Kindness and Integral Assessment

Hello all!

Upon trying the exercise on page 93, I found myself very distracted.  I was repeating the phrase, but had to keep reading it to remind myself of what to think.  Also, when! I got away from reading the phrases over and over and I was repeating the phrases I very easily would change my thoughts!  I am finally getting the hang of a guided meditation.  By getting the hang of it I mean allowing myself to relax and follow through.  Therefore, this mini practice will certainly take some more practice

Reflecting upon the second exercise I have decided I need to focus on the psychospiritual growth.  The conative aspect of psychospiritual is partially driven by education.  Finishing my education is very important to me.  I would like to continue on to graduate school.  However, I have been going straight through for almost two years now with no adequate breaks, just the week or so you get between classes.  With my hectic life of being a wife, mother, employee and student I am starting to get burnt out!  I know several of us here at Kaplan have these same issues, which is why we have chosen online classes.  I strived for perfection when attended my first tow years at a typical university, and also my first year and a half at Kaplan.  Now that I am in the home stretch, perhaps a year to go, I am finding it harder to push through! :/
