Performing the loving kindness exercise and regularly meditating have been the two most beneficial parts of this course to me. The loving kindness portion changes my focus of effort as while I exercise and has also changed the way I do my job. I take my job pretty seriously and often love it, but at times I hate it with the very core of my being. This is not an understatement and sometimes I wonder if other people feel the same way about what they do. For instance, right now at this very second, I hate my job like I hated that one fat kid in 5th grade who tried to pick fights with me once a week. I'll refrain from name dropping but although I'm positive I will never project feelings if loving kindess to that tub of lard, I have found it useful to use this exercise to change the feeling of wanting to drop kick my desk into the hallway to performing tasks slowly and with the care that makes sure they get done properly and with a sense of self. Meditation has just helped me calm my body in uncomfortable situations and made a huge difference in my level of focus before I practice Brazilian jujitsu.
