The question I reflected on that was most disturbing to me was, "Which exercise [from the week] did you struggle with the most and why?"
I didn't struggle with any of the exercises, but the day 2 and day 5 assessments of my life, what I value, and how I am working/not working toward valuing my values were tough. I realized that I dislike quite a few things in my life, and that many of the things I dislike are things I have, at least some, control over.
It is difficult to see myself this way. To know that I am the real reason why I am not doing many of the things that I value and that I am holding myself back.
Why am I doing this?
Perhaps a large part of it is laziness, another large part may be that I am fairly comfortable in my lack of contentment - I have a steady income and a roof (though one I am literally afraid will fall down) over my head. Another part is fear; fear that I will f-up, fear that I will not do the right thing, fear that I will become uncomfortable. Another part is not knowing what to do in some cases - but with many of the things I value, I know what I need to do, and how to go about doing them.
