Activity: Learning Outcome 2: March 2020

In the photography club, we worked on taking long exposure photos. Taking photos like these is oftentimes pretty hard. With the help and guidance of my friends, I was able to take some decent pictures. 

I found myself getting easily frustrated throughout the process and becoming angry when I could not take the exact picture that I wanted but it was then that I realized how valuable patience is. 

I had learning outcome 2 while taking these pictures because I knew there were challenges that I was facing but I allowed myself to grow from them. I even developed new skills in the process.

I developed the skill of patience. I developed the skill of asking for help. And I developed the skill of taking my time and really engaging with the activity I am taking part in.

Creativity: Learning Outcome 1: October 2020

Today I created a sand mandala which was both incredibly fun and incredibly stressful! I watched a video explaining the origin of the sand mandalas which showed how beautiful and intuit they could be but also how easily they could be destroyed. The entire process, both the creation and destruction of the sand mandala is so beautiful.  "The sand mandala is an intricate focus of meditation which monks study in-depth, sometimes for as long as three years. It is designed to guide those who aspire to enlightenment by purifying and healing their minds, transforming them from an ordinary mind into an enlightened mind."

I realized that this applies to my life as well, I really do have trouble letting go sometimes. This mandala practice was really fun and enjoyable for me and is learning outcome 1 because I identified my areas of strength but also learn...

Activity: Learning Outcome 1: July 2020

Today I meditated. I engaged in a 20-minute meditation which was difficult for me, not only for its length but because the meditation on the app 10% Happier (the app I use for meditating) asked me to focus on hindrances in my life. I found that this was something my mind doesn't always want to focus on since they in a way are negative and I like to avoid thinking about the negatives in my life sometimes. I learned that I had a resistance to focusing on the negative things in my life and had a strong urge to avoid them. While difficult at times, in terms of what my brain wanted to focus on, this meditation was great for me because I came out of it feeling very relaxed. I learned that I could work on accepting the negative things in my life, specifically when meditating but at the same time that I was doing pretty well in this meditation because this is a realization that I was able to come to on my own. This meditation was really fun and enjoyable and is learning outcome 1 because I...
