“To change ourselves effectively, we first have to change our perceptions.”

― Stephen R. Covey

To know your inner self is to know your vision, goals and motives that ultimately help you to choose your purpose.

My 6 days journey in life class and what I have learned through 7 habits has helped me to look at people and especially me with different perspectives. Through this life class, I was able to discover inner me, embrace who I am and not just to appreciate others but it’s important to appreciate me. The life class was not only the journey of knowing yourself but to imbibe the habits that are required to strengthen ourselves. These are the activities that we are required to incorporate into our daily schedules and practice them regularly. This will allow us to have a growth mindset and create a real change in our lives by increasing our capacity to handle the challenges around us.

I clearly remember how awkward it felt to ‘share’ for the first time, sharing life’s experiences with acquaintances. I also clearly remember how Juhi ma’am and Anita ma’am unfolded the closely-knit connectedness each person had within the group and how gradually sharing changed to more fluid discussions amongst the group.
Life Classes has been a fruitful learning experience for me. It has given me an insight into the 7 Habits and helped me to work optimistically towards life and life’s goals. It further made me believe in many values which I have already been following in my life. I have come out of life classes with a lot of positive reinforcement, which I am sure is going to benefit me both professionally and personally. I am deeply grateful to Anita ma’am and Juhi ma’am for making this journey a memorable one.

Life class sessions were indeed an amazing part of our journey. A big thank you to both of my facilitators Anita & Juhi ma’am for preparing the content and making efforts so that we can improve our professional as well as personal life. I was always a procrastinator and they made me realize that I am myself responsible for my own actions and my happiness. I usually never practiced a win-win situation and ended up in a Win-Lose one. All the lessons were worth learning and I thoroughly enjoyed synergizing with the team members whether in an activity of while dancing. It was fun altogether and I am eagerly waiting for future life classes.

Life classes provided me with a good opportunity to see the situation and problems with multiple perspectives. It shifted many of my paradigms and hence helped me to be more open-minded.

The sharing of experiences and thoughts by the participants during the sessions gave more clarity about the habits. The best part of the life classes I felt was lots of sharing and movies.

I would like to thank my facilitators, Anita Ma’am and Juhi Ma’am for the insight they shared during the classes. A very big thanks to the Fountainhead School for conducting such wonderful classes.

Looking forward to attending more such classes in coming years !!

Today I am sitting and trying to recollect all the things I have learned in my first life-class, ‘Seven Habits’. I feel like I have achieved a sense of gratitude.
I still remember my first day when we were asked to share the grievances which were hampering our way for prosperity. That beautiful engagement just made me realize how small my problems are. As humans, we victimize ourselves and try to escape from the reality thinking that the problems prevail only in our lives. I am glad I realized that responding is crucial while reacting isn’t and I might lose out on people/things if I don’t remain calm and if I give importance to the problems then to solutions.
We were asked to analyze the way we would have spent our time if we had 24 hours left. The engagement made me realize the importance of my family. It has given me a lesson to not miss out on things I want to do in life.
I believe I am still in the process to attain balance in my life from all the four aspects. I am happy that I have achieved the first step of realization as it will help me now to take steps to attain it.
‘This shall pass too’ (mentioned by Hussain Sir) – a  thing I have learned and inculcated in my life. This statement has helped me to have strength in my blues and calm in my good times.
It is said that the childhood phase is the best as one can commit mistakes and can forget it freely. However, life class as a medium has helped me to not forget the mistakes rather accept those mistakes.
I am thankful to Richa maám and Bhumika maám for having the tremendous patience to listen to each one of us and guide us.

Life class was an opportunity to take time and reflect upon our actions & behaviours based on different situations. It helped us consider it important to take a look at the habits which can be inculcated for living a better life & helping build stronger relationships. The journey has been amazing & enriching experience where we learnt about the application of 7habits & how can our small acts of kindness bring a lot of difference in the EBA that we share with people. The life class was activity-based & it helped us be interested in the classes.

Thank You to Anita & Juhi ma’am.

It was an enduring experience. I got quite a good insight about the 7 habits. I was able to connect it in a better way as I have already read the book. I came to know about looking at various perspectives of the same thing. It has helped me in my struggling areas and I have changed a bit for good.

Habit: A habit (or wont as a humorous and formal term) is a routine of behavior that is repeated regularly and tends to occur subconsciously. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Habit)

Before I begin my reflection on the LC I would like to acknowledge my facilitators Ms. Bhumika Jain & Ms. Richa Sharda for helping me through the 7 habits and these habits have gradually become my habits.

The whole experience was an amalgamation of Emotions, Knowledge sharing, Paradigm shifts, Mental growth and Perspectives. Experience sharing from team mates made the classes more dynamic. There were so many takeaways from what I heard, what I saw and what I felt. I can see the difference in my thoughts and my actions and I feel good within.

Looking forward to attend such classes further.

1. The term ‘Life Classes’ itself says that it is a way we can deal and lead our general life problems, through the book by Stephen Covey ‘7 Habits’. I would cherish this opportunity by our school to teach and get insights of our own self. We often confuse and don’t realise the essence of leading a successful life. These sessions gave a bigger picture by explaining through videos, activities, discussions, personal sharings etc. Many emotional ups and downs struck the class but it all summarised to a point of unique solutions. I can now scan and see through the reasons and reactions of my problems. Now I would just reflect on my life with the consciousness of these theories, to lead a simpler life. No, not a life without problems but a life without any baggages and expectations. I loved and give Kudos to our facilitators Mayur Sir and Khushboo Ma’am. Thankyou to the FS culture and management for this wonderful opportunity and insights.
