Loving Kindness Meditation
The meditation exercise really relieved a lot of prolonged stress I have been having issues with the last few weeks I felt as I repeated the phrases over and over again, I figured out where a lot of my anger and anxiety was coming from: various people I was holding grudges against and those who were upset with me. I tend to carry a lot on my shoulders and am not one that can just “let it roll off” when someone says something nasty or negative to me. Instead of holding grudges I should really show them love, kindness, and happiness as it is intended and not let anyone stand in my way of damaging my current level of health and wellness in my life. As I do this I feel as if I can become freer and help others along the way. During the meditation I had come to these conclusions as I was saying each phrase over and over again.
Integral Assessment
I have been having a great deal of distress as far as my emotional aspect has gone in the last few months. I took on a lot when I agreed to take my niece; she has been through quite a bit of abuse and is just a handful. I need to improve my patience and learn better coping skills in regards to how to handle her and certain situations. The short term help would be to pray and seek some support. The long term relief would be to see that she gets the help that she needs while showing her the upmost love and support. I know that I can grow psychospiritual if I can just get through this rough patch.
Both of these exercises have shown me that I need to grow stronger in the emotional aspect of my mind and spirit. Some activities that could help me better control this would be Yoga to help me clear my mind. I have stopped doing Yoga the last few weeks because of some medical issues but I really need to start back. I also need to put more faith in God to help bring me through these times which means my spiritual life needs to be strengthened as well.

Both of the exercises are definitely great for anyone and everyone to do. I love how I feel after taking the time to do some of these exercises. it really does make a difference in my life.
If you don't mind me asking of what medical issues that you are dealing with I might be able to help you out for what you can do of relieving stress and other alternatives for Yoga that can help you relax in the same way but in a different way of performing it. You do have a huge challenge right now and the future, but just remember take it one day at a time and when you are starting to feel stress just try to put yourself in your niece shoes and think about of what she might be thinking and this would also help out in patients for her also. I know that my daughter can drive in insane but I do step out for a minute and think about of what my mother would tell me of how I was when I was my daughter age and when I think about that it make me realize of how much more patient I am needing to be and I am actually doing so much better with it. I will keep you in my prayers and I hate to hear about what your niece has went through. God Bless
