Physical: TOTAL WIN! (exercise, diet, sleep)
Willpower: PASS (blogging)
Emotional: WIN! (walking in nature, dog, emotional work)
Social: WIN! (visiting with friends, deep conversation)
Saturday I got a lot of emotional... er... "work" done? The morning kicked off with a good tete-a-tete with Karen where we discussed, amongst many other things, the tendency for people to judge themselves much more harshly than they judge others. She suggested looking at my own behaviours and how I describe them to myself, and then imagining how I would describe the same behaviours if I observed them in other people.
This set the tone for a lot of introspection, I guess. I took a bath last night with the intention of having a mellow, physically pleasant experience, but ended up thinking a lot about the origins of my various hangups. So I didn't do too well at describing my behaviours generously, I guess, but I was able to be honest with myself about how they came about, and was generous about understanding the behaviours without being overly judgemental about them. I think the process was good overall, if a bit unpleasant while it was happening.
