7 Habits Love and Life (Alfa)

2 comments

7 Habits of Love and Life,” a profound and enlightening session wherein we delved into three pivotal habits: being proactive, beginning with the end in mind and put first things first. 

Habit 1 : Be Proactive :

A. Respond, Don’t React: One of the most challenging yet rewarding aspects of being proactive is learning to respond thoughtfully rather than reacting on impulse. This involves pausing to consider the best course of action, which can lead to more positive outcomes in our decisions. B. Circle of Influence : Understanding and identifying our circle of influence is crucial. This means focusing on the things we can control and influence rather than wasting energy on external factors beyond our control. C. Change Your Paradigm: Adopting a proactive mindset requires a shift in paradigm. It’s about accepting that change is constant and necessary for growth.

Habit 2 : Begin with the end in mind 

Be clear about your GOALS and start with achievable steps. Knowing exactly what we want to achieve allows us to create a roadmap to reach our destination. It’s important to start with actions that are within our control and manageable. These small victories build confidence as we progress towards our larger goals. 

Habit 3: Put first things first : Identifying and scheduling the priorities, learning to say no and maintaining balance and being flexible is also important. Effective planning and prioritizing tasks that contribute significantly to our goals while avoiding unnecessary stress and overwork, is the key to steady progress and avoiding burnout. 

The workshop provided deep insights into how all the habits are interwoven and essential for personal / professional growth and effective living. The journey towards self-improvement and success begins with small, deliberate steps and a clear vision of our goals.

The 7 habits life class has been a cathartic experience through and through. It allowed me to introspect and dig deeper into the core of my being. It gave me an opportunity to think beyond the hustle and bustle of the daily life and to look at the bigger picture. It also made me realise the vitality of my actions and its aftermath. The class helped me paint a clear picture of the areas of my influence and the things which are beyond my control.

I would also like to express my appreciation for both my facilitators- Puja Agarwal ma’am and Muskan Mittal ma’am for being so kind, compassionate and insightful throughout the sessions, and for keeping us intrigued by planning fun activities. Overall, it was a truly transformative experience.

“The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.” — Alan Watts

This quote perfectly captures our recent two-day experience. It seems we took Alan Watts’ advice literally—diving headfirst into the emotional whirlpool and dancing our way through self-discovery. Moving with the rhythm of the Life Class can feel—awkward at first, but surprisingly enlightening!

While the close-knit community was incredibly nurturing, it was also emotionally intense. I’ve always felt that being part of a community has a unique power and comfort, which our facilitators, Puja Ma’am and Muskan Ma’am, truly brought to life. Their warmth and ability to create a space filled with compassion and laughter were truly remarkable.

In our tech-driven world, where distractions are relentless and productivity is often measured by constant busyness, this Life Class was a much-needed break. It provided a space to slow down and reconnect with ourselves.

Here are my key takeaways from the Life Classes:

1. We’re all chasing more—more achievements, more success, and a so-called “perfect life.” But when do we stop to question what “perfection” really means to us? While our goals may vary, at the core, we all seek similar things.
2. Embrace the space between stimulus and response. We always have a choice. Others can offer guidance and make our path clearer, but it’s up to us to walk it.
3. “Dare to do something of your own. Things will fall into place for you.”
4. The concept of the “emotional bank account” was particularly fascinating to me.
5. The realization of our finite and ephemeral existence brings with it a profound sense of both trepidation and clarity. We are undeniably constrained by the accumulation of our past experiences. Becoming conscious of these inherent limitations forces us to confront the daunting truth of our mortality. Yet, paradoxically, this very awareness can be a source of empowerment. Perhaps, for me, this realization provides comfort and motivates me to make my path more intentional.

To sum up my experience, I’m left with more questions than answers:

As human beings, we have a single body but a mind that can imagine living a hundred different lives within one lifetime. There will be moments of dissatisfaction, and it’s natural to wonder when we’ll truly figure out what’s best for us and which path will lead us to “greatness.”

We all recognize the power of free will, and each person is tested by life. So why is it that some of us struggle to fully utilize our will, even when opportunities come our way?

My first Life Class

Leave a comment

The two-day life class began with the “7 Habits Alpha” session, focusing on the first three habits, which emphasize personal independence and self-improvement. On the first day, I learned about being proactive and taking responsibility for my actions. An activity where we wrote about a significant life incident and explored alternative reactions provided a cathartic release, easing some of my intense emotions.

The second day was an emotional roller coaster, particularly when reflecting on death and its impact on loved ones. Writing a letter justifying my absence was deeply moving, as it brought a sharp awareness of the potential sorrow my departure could cause. This exercise made me realize the unpredictable nature of life and the importance of making thoughtful, sustainable decisions. I also gained insight into the significance of prioritization, effective time management, and self-management. The importance grid provided as a resource was particularly enlightening, and I look forward to integrating it into my life.

Overall, the life class was a profound experience, filled with emotional highs and lows, setting a promising foundation for future sessions. I’m eager to see what more these classes have to offer!

7 Habits and Love life class left me feeling inspired and rejuvenated. The experience was enlightening and filled with genuine personal growth. One key takeaway was the importance of embracing responsibility for our actions and focusing on areas where we can make a positive impact, rather than casting blame. Another vital lesson was learning to distinguish between tasks that are important and those that merely seem urgent. By focusing on what truly matters, we can avoid distractions and stay true to our goals. Crafting a personal mission statement, nurturing gratitude, practicing discipline with kindness, and balancing productivity with self-care were also emphasized, showing us how to achieve lasting success without sacrificing our well-being.

What resonated with me the most was the emphasis on prioritizing tasks based on their significance. This fresh approach challenged my current methods and gave me practical steps that I’m excited to implement. I found the discussions on gratitude and discipline particularly enlightening. They highlighted the importance of appreciating the good in our lives and maintaining steady, compassionate self-control to reach our goals. The workshop was filled with valuable lessons that deepened my understanding of myself and offered actionable ways to enhance my life. The sense of community and shared purpose among the participants made the experience even more special. It was a heartwarming and enriching journey that I will cherish, leaving me with a renewed sense of purpose and joy.

To live a balanced and fulfilling life, prioritize self-care by integrating regular exercise, healthy eating, and mindfulness into your routine. Cultivate meaningful relationships by dedicating quality time to family and friends, and set clear, actionable goals for personal and professional growth. Embrace continuous learning to stay adaptable and engaged, and maintain a healthy work-life balance by establishing clear boundaries. Manage your finances wisely through budgeting and planning to ensure stability and achieve your long-term goals. Engage in purposeful activities that align with your values, contributing positively to others and enhancing your sense of purpose. I thoroughly enjoyed the “7 Habits & Love – Beta Life” class and appreciate the effort you put into facilitating it. The interactive exercises were particularly engaging and effectively reinforced these concepts. One suggestion would be to include more real-life examples and self-time activities to illustrate how these habits can be applied in everyday situations. Overall, the class was insightful and has positively impacted how I manage my time, relationships, and personal growth. Thank you for a valuable learning experience!

In this two days life class session, we discussed the value of prioritizing tasks based on their impact rather than urgency. The session highlighted the significance of starting with a clear end in mind to be better equipped to align the actions accordingly. The key takeaways from the session –

1. Take Responsibility of your actions and Concentrate on areas where you can make an impact. Stop blaming others.

2. Focus on important tasks over urgent distractions. Organize tasks to align with the schedule. Learn to say no to non-priorities to stay focused.

3. Creating a Mission Statement works as a guide for decisions and priorities. By keeping the end in mind we can organize our tasks and complete it timely.

Personally, I found the discussion on prioritizing tasks particularly impactful. It challenged my existing strategies and provided actionable steps I am eager to implement. The session was a treasure of insights and it helped me learn many things about myself and my life and how I can work on it.

Taking a step forward to look deep into our lives and have an impact.

Over the past two days, our school conducted a series of workshops aimed at enhancing both personal and professional development for teachers. The sessions focused on Stephen Covey’s “7 Habits of Highly Effective People” and a “Love Life” seminar designed to foster a positive and fulfilling attitude towards life and work. These workshops were not only insightful but also deeply engaging, offering practical strategies and emotional well-being techniques.

It was a privilege to participate in the life class led by Wilmot Sir and Utsav Sir, delving into the principles of the 7 Habits and Love. The experience was nothing short of transformative. Throughout the sessions, the mentors created an inclusive and engaging atmosphere by sharing personal anecdotes and encouraging open dialogue among participants. This authenticity facilitated meaningful connections and insightful discussions. The class activities were thoughtfully designed to promote understanding of the principles being taught. From role-playing exercises to deep soul-searching, each activity contributed to my personal growth journey. The mentors allowed the discussions to evolve naturally, encouraging participants to explore their own perspectives and insights.

As the class progressed, I witnessed profound transformations within myself .The principles of the 7 Habits and Love became guiding principles for living a more purposeful and fulfilling life. I am grateful for the guidance and mentorship provided by Wilmot Sir and Utsav Sir.


Thank you !

The session was very insightful as we tend to overlook the problems we have in our lives related to our social circle. We make relations with other beings as humans (a social animal) and each relation consists of a specific emotion (kind of love). Many times when things go wrong we are unable to figure out the problem due to some reasons, such as being unable to identify the problem, find a solution, find common ground, etc. Love class taught us to identify such pain and problems and categorize it, we learned about the stages of love and marriage (applicable to the other aspects of life as well). We also connected all the learnings with our life experiences (by sharing), all thanks to Delta group and our facilitators (Wilmot sir & Utsav Sir).
