Although I do feel I have evolved a bit since my unit 3 assessment, I do have a long way to go. I would still rate myself with a six, psychologically, physically, and spiritually. Though I have been trying to care out time to meditate, it is usually very late, and I am very tired. Unfortunately, this time also reflects my "me" time. I have been unable to venture to the Buddhist group meetings. I have been very busy with my family at this time. New roles are being created in the family, and it has been difficult for everyone.
I do hope to begin taking time for myself. I realize it is important to do. I am still working on my relationships to allow others to help me, and let go of my delusion of control. It has been a back and forth battle so far. I have found that I have many unwarranted and, possibly, unreachable expectations.
I appreciate this course very much. It has helped me put words and practices along with so much I already believed to be true. I will certainly continue this path toward human flourishing. It has been difficult to self-reflect and realize my own role in my mental anguish. However, as I let go of the ego, I can work to bring relief to world suffering.
