My Feelings (Anjana)

These were my feelings after Thursdays session on "Habits of Mind".

IntrapersonaI
I am feeling not so good, head heavy, agitated, confused, disappointed, depressed, not so happy, not so satisfied and what not??? after today's session.

I am becoming aware of my feelings, and trying to figure out what was today's class all about?? and my head is just about to explode...and I suggested to myself I need to sleep over my feelings and continue tomorrow...

Heavy headed :-(

Interpersonal
I conveyed my feelings to Ratnesh and to my spouse.
Their responses respectively,


"i cannot ascertain what caused certain feelings in you
though i am available to LISTEN if you feel like talking


What i am going to suggest may sound funny or atrocious - but give it a shot:

whatever are your feelings - ACCEPT them by saying "they are for my good"
all of these
head heavy, agitated, confused, disappointed, depressed, not so happy, not so satisfied
are for MY GOOD"

." I am happy for you(which did make me upset) as this tells me, about you having a brain(if at all) that has started working"....(here I accepted that it was for my GOOD).
That itself was good enough to shed a lot of my feelings

My Learning:

and by morning i could see a clear picture of myself in the "consciously incompetent" stage. This experience has made me sensitive, leading to the realization that this is what children go through, and decided henceforth not to be harsh on my children as far as their learning goes....
