Week Five: Sharing Your Discoveries
The final week's assignments. Can you believe it. This time, there are only three. What is this week's theme? The experience of hope. Thus in the next three days, I would like everyone to do their best to express their hopes and dreams for the future with regard to conscious eating.
What am I asking for? Only three things.
First, I'd like you to list what you have been building your dreams on. By this, I mean, list anything which has changed in you in the past month.
Second, I'd like you to list any dreams and or desires you may have for your future relationship with eating and food, any changes you would like to see happen in you, and in your way of living and loving yourself.
Finally, I'd like you to write something which describes what this was like for you; how hard it was; how the responses of others affected you; which assignments were hardest and which were easiest.
Now, rather than formalize these three things more than they need be, please just feel free to write whatever you can in the next three days, remembering that this writing is also a part of becoming more conscious with regard to eating. Thus, please write what this has been like for you even if you have only been watching what others have done, or have only done a few of the assignments.
What has helped? What have you struggled with? And are you ready to try again AFTER a rest?
And for those who prefer the assignments be written in daily form, they are as follows:
