Describe a significant experience that has happened in the past year. How did it affect you? Are you grateful? Tripped over the dog and broke my left wrist. It made me feel frustrated, helpless, old and angry. It gave me real life experience on how to be responsible for others. I feel grateful and can't wait to go back next year hopefully as a counselor and instructor.
It is clear that I work for a company that doesnt really care about its employees, and my boss is a 12 year old who has no management skills but his dad owns the company, it is what it is. A significant experience in this last year was going to Thailand for five weeks to do a yoga teacher training, learn about Buddhism, and meditate and chant. It was a massive part of my grieving and healing process around Dad.
I found some ground somehow under my feet again. I think with all the sitting with and feeling the pain of the loss, it opened up to new layers of me and what matters in my life and allowed me to reconnect to earth again. I was part of a writing team for a sitcom.
It was an amazing and inspiring experience, as well as hard work. Like my uncle getting cancer, of course it doesn't leave me unaffected, but there are so many people closer to him and more involved, that I don't have to do a lot about it.
Something really significant that I changed this year was quitting my job. That gave me tons of different emotions. Of course I am happy, or else I wouldn't have wanted to quit. It is also frightening to not know where I want my life to go from now on. It's confusing. My goals in life are changing massively. It makes me sad to leave and jealous of my successor who is all fresh and new in the job. I'm also happy that I could really make this decision for myself. My biggest experiences in the last year were my travels.
