OF THE DAY

Exercise to Understand that life is a mirror:

1. Look in and Make a list of things
or situations we have avoided, or
behaviors we resisted in others –

• Have we avoided people who nag
us?
• Have we avoided people who are
too demanding?
• Have we avoided situations where
we may fail?
• Have we found people who are too
dependent on us?

2. Write down the list of situations
which we have happened again
and again.

3. What are the things in those
situations we have resisted again
and again?

4. Write down the list of people
with whom you have had
problems - write down the
characteristics of those people you
have resisted has shown up again
and again

For example

1. List all the teachers in your life you had a problem with - how many of these problems are the same even with different managers?

2. List all the students with who you had a problem with - how many of these problems are the same across many colleagues?

3. List all the friends, relatives you had problems with - how many of these problems are the same across many of them?

4. Write down the list of people with whom you have had problems. Is it a coincidence that all of them gave you the same kind of problem? Do you think it is them? Or is it something in you?

5. What is it inside you that brought out this aspect of them which you did not like?

6. What perception inside of you made you see all of them in the same way.

7. If these people are not in your life, will you be aware of these problems?
