I feel my scores from Unit 3 have changed. My spiritual score has not though. I feel I am still at a 9 with that even though I know that it is not just religion but a complete spiritual score. Here I do believe there is a higher being and it is up to me to be as close to it as possible especially to my fellow man. My other scores, I feel, have gotten better. I do eat better and I am trying to do yoga with meditation at least 3 times a week with a better feeling toward it. I think this has put me on a better path towards a healthier lifestyle and a calmer mind. Psychologically, I do feel so much better knowing how and why to clear my thought pattern and rid myself of the pains I have clung to. Forgiveness has no doubt been the best thing to learn of.
Now I just need to do as I say I would. Practice at least 3 times a week faithfully. It is always so easy to say you will do it until it comes down to it. Because it makes me feel better physically and about myself, I think I am going to be able to keep this up. My mood is definitely better according to my coworkers and people don't seem to be afraid of me. Letting go of the anger and learning to forgive has made such a difference. This to me has not been easy. Change is never easy and probably not really understanding this course slowed my progress down. I am glad I understand the benefits better.

Craig, It is beautiful to hear you speak of how forgiveness has been such a wonderful learning experience this quarter. Forgiveness is such a gift to ourselves ... we get unclogged ... we are freer and those whom we have forgiven get a "do over" and life gets better as a result. Good luck in all you do and in maintaining your practices.

Hi Craig! I'm 100% with you in the psychological aspect of things. I have felt the effects of meditation too. I'm a happier person and I feel more clear headed now more than ever. I'm glad to hear your mood has improved and people aren't afraid of you. It's hard to let go of anger and forgive. Good for you for learning what works for you to improve these areas. I wish you well on all your future endeavors! It was great interacting with you in class.
