unit 5 subtle mind vs loving kindness
As usual it's hard for me to sit and listen to something. In the subtle mind exercise I had to keep reminding myself to return to the breathing, my mind just wanders and I start to think about things that I have to do, relationship stuff, bills, school, etc. It will take a lot of work for me to get that "witnessing mind". The loving kindnes exercise is easier for me. I can always think of someone that means a lot to me and things we've done together etc. I love my friends and if I could I would take some of their pain away, sometimes I think I can handle it better or I just don't want them to hurt.

well being
Hi Guys,
I think my physical well being is probably the best part of my "well being". I've always been a physical person, love to work out, ride my horse or bike, I make sure that I do something almost every day. I would give that and 8 or 9. Spiritual, let's see, that's a tough one. I guess I have good days and bad days with that so probably a 5-6. I do think I'm spiritual but it's one of those things, you don't think about it till things are really bad (most of the time). However I do try to be thankful for what I do have, my 2 beautiful girls are truly a gift and I'm lucky to have them. Psychological would also be a 5-6. Sometimes I feel like I must be truly nuts! Then somedays I feel like I really have my act together. Life just gets overwhelming sometimes, work, school, kids, house, horse, etc. And everything and everybody wants my attention!
I think my physical goals are what they are, if I could work out more I would. Spiritually, I'm on the fence with that one. I was raised Irish, Italian, catholic. I should be way more spiritual but I'm just not. I have to pay attention more, that's something that always gets put on the back burner and it shouldn't. Psychologically I think I have to focus on my education goals and take care of my kids. Any suggestions for a single mom who feels lost at times?
