Hi Everyone!
Doing the loving kindness always makes me feel so much better, especially when I do it at the end of a long day at work. In using the integral assessment, I realize that the interpersonal area of my life needs some help. I go on throughout my day worrying about many things and not taking any time for myself or others. I feel that I take on too much of the worldly aspect and leave out the interpersonal one. I believe that taking time to enjoy myself and developing new friendships will help me to develop the interpersonal aspect of my life. I also believe that, if I complete the loving kindness practice more, that it will also help me to grow. At this point, I am not completing it daily because I find that other 'worldly' things take my time. Here's to a new interpersonal me!

Being to involved in work is something that far too many people do in this society. Although we can find joy and happiness in our work if transform our work like Dacher discusses we still have to find happiness from outside work. It is great that you know where you need to improve and you are willing to go out and change things. Good luck on developing the interpersonal aspect of your life.
