Life Classes(Love class) – Day 7 & 8

Leave a comment

The Life Classes on respect, love, and communication have provided us with invaluable insights into the core principles that sustain healthy and fulfilling relationships. We have learned that respect is the foundation upon which trust and mutual understanding are built, while love is a continuous action that nurtures and strengthens the bond between individuals. Moreover, communication stands as the bridge that connects hearts and minds, ensuring that both partners feel heard, valued, and supported.

These lessons have not only deepened our understanding of relationships but also empowered us to apply these principles in our own lives. By fostering respect, nurturing love, and practicing effective communication, we can create lasting and meaningful connections that thrive on mutual care and understanding.

Memorable Life Class Experience- Day 7 & 8

The last two days of our life class have been an incredible journey of learning and self-reflection. We explored the topic of marriage, its different stages, and the key elements that make a relationship healthy and strong. Understanding these aspects gave us a fresh perspective on the importance of relationships in our lives. We also delved into parenting, comparing old and new approaches, and realizing how they shape a child’s growth. A thought-provoking movie helped us relate the stages of marriage to real-life scenarios, making the concepts even more meaningful.

A heartfelt thank you to our wonderful facilitators, Pooja Ma’am and Muskan Ma’am, who made these sessions engaging, insightful, and relatable. Their approach created a comfortable space where we could learn and share openly.

Overall, these eight days have been truly transformative, leaving us with wisdom that will guide us in many aspects of life.

Life Classes(Love class) – Day 5 & 6

The Love class has been a deeply emotional experience for me, especially when we explored the connection between love and pain. We often think of love as a beautiful, uplifting feeling, but there’s another side to it—one that involves vulnerability, sacrifice, and sometimes, emotional pain.

During the class, it became clear that love isn’t just about joy and affection.The hurt that comes when we care deeply for others, the heartache we sometimes endure, and the vulnerability that makes us truly connect. Understanding this aspect of love has helped me realize that pain isn’t something to avoid or fear. Instead, it is part of the process of growing deeper in love, both with ourselves and with others. The second day of the Love class stands out as one of the most heartwarming experiences I’ve had. Listening to everyone’s stories about their definitions of love was deeply moving. It was enlightening to hear how each person’s view of love was shaped by their own experiences, and these reflections expanded my understanding of the topic in unexpected ways. The openness and honesty with which everyone shared created a truly special, safe space for reflection and connection.

A heartfelt thank you to our facilitators for guiding us through these powerful realizations. Their openness and ability to create a space where we could explore both the beauty and the complexities of love was invaluable. Their passion made this journey through love and pain a truly enriching and eye-opening experience.

Emotions: An inevitable part of living

One comment

“I don’t ever want to feel sad…”

What a wishful thinking, I reckon.

It wasn’t too long ago that I realised not wanting to feel an emotion is never a ‘good’ option. As a bandaid option, yes, sounds great. However, will that feeling come back to haunt you sometime later in life, in a different setting, in a different way?
Probably yes.

How do you deal with a wind-whirl of feelings and emotions that come hitting you across your face, with an increasing pain in your stomach that doesn’t resemble butterflies anymore, and an aching, sharp, deafening sound that leaves you hearing your own heartbeat?
It sounds scary and overwhelming.

From these life classes, I take back one thing – ways to manage my emotions: Acceptance.

Acceptance comes in various forms – maybe in search of truth, maybe through the learnings of Buddha, or maybe through therapy.

My form is acceptance?
Therapy!

When discussing these unsettling emotions, I have a nerve to discuss something pleasant (my way to deal with discomfort, I guess?). Love, no? I mean, the two days of life classes were dedicated to this very emotion. Love in every form – be it familial, platonic or romantic. However, something I really enjoyed was knowing what this particular class has done crazy in love. There’s something mischievous, flirty and innocent in sharing what each of us has done to express the extent of love we feel.

Abrupt ending – thanks.

LIfe Classes – Day 5 & 6

A Question I Am Left With After This Life Class:

Many of us are familiar with the age-old phrase, “Ignorance is bliss,” but is ignorance really bliss? I found this excerpt from the book particularly thought-provoking: “What makes life difficult is that the process of confronting and solving problems is a painful one.” The key, I think, is becoming aware of that pain—acknowledging it, making space for it in our lives, and spending time getting to know it. This is what makes the difference. Once we become familiar with that pain in a way that allows us not to hold on to it, we set ourselves free and transcend it.

Another moment that stood out to me was the activity we did on the second day of the Love class. It was incredibly wholesome to hear everyone’s stories about what love means to them. It was truly enjoyable. A big thank you to our facilitators for their time, energy, and infectious enthusiasm.

7 Habits Life and Love – Alpha

Day-3 and 4 of the life class were truly intriguing and insightful.Reflecting on Covey’s seven habits has reinforced my commitment to personal growth and effectiveness. Each habit builds on the others, creating a comprehensive approach to living a purposeful life. By integrating these principles into my daily routine, I’ve found greater clarity, productivity, and fulfilment.

I thoroughly enjoyed my time during the sports/activity segment which was conducted to acquaint us with the concept of Synergy.It was truly effective since it provided ample opportunities to collaborate with the team members and reinforced ‘Collaboration’ as a powerful tool that not only enhances individual and team performance but also fosters a culture of innovation, accountability, and mutual support. Moreover, watching the movie ‘Chak de India’ bolstered the concept of 7 Habits further, leaving a lasting impact.

I would like to appreciate my facilitators- Puja Aggarwal and Muskan Mittal who were so compassionate and enthusiastic throughout the classes. In conclusion, Covey’s insights continue to resonate, reminding me that effectiveness is a journey rooted in intention, resilience, and continuous improvement.

The life class session that I recently attended on the 7 Habits opened my eyes to the power of personal effectiveness.The experience was truly enrgizing and left me feeling inspired and motivated. The facilitators were incredibly engaging and enthusiastic, making the material come alive through a variety of interactive activities, including role plays, games, and sports.

Key Takeaways:

  • Habit 4: Think Win-Win: Strive for mutually beneficial solutions in your relationships.
  • Habit 5: Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood: Listen empathetically before expressing your own views.
  • Habit 6: Synergize: Work together to achieve more than you could individually.
  • Habit 7: Sharpen the Saw: Continuously invest in your personal and professional development. Working on all the dimensions – phsical, mental, spiritual and socio – emotional is necessary. 

Life Classes – Day 3 & 4

The past two days of life classes were incredibly enjoyable. I’ll always cherish the joy and excitement we experienced on Day 4 while we were out in the field. It was a great way to tap into our competitive spirit while having fun. For any team to succeed, trust, strategic planning, and motivation to bring new solutions are essential.

One of our facilitators mentioned that working in teams helps us learn about our strengths and discover more about ourselves, and I wholeheartedly agree. It’s through our interactions with others that we gain deeper insights into our patterns and behaviours; we simply can’t function in isolation.

Revisiting the movie “Chak De! India” after such a long time also gave me many insights. It highlighted how the stories we tell ourselves about patriotism, nationalism, winning, and losing shape our behavior. The film emphasizes the importance of having a shared purpose to pursue a common goal, which can be quite challenging. As SRK’s character wisely states,

“Maine kaha tha na, team banane ke liye taakat nahi … niyat chahiye.”
I told you, to make a team you don’t need strength … you need intention.

Thank you for an amazing two days!

The two-day life class was an enlightening journey that extended far beyond the theoretical understanding of the “7 Habits.” These sessions illuminated a path through my uncertainties and challenges, transforming not just my approach to daily tasks but my overall outlook on life. The workshop, however, presented a comprehensive and practical framework that made the habits accessible and relevant to my daily life. It provided real-world applications and examples that brought the concepts to life, making them easier to integrate meaningfully. The sessions encouraged self-reflection, helping me identify areas for improvement and growth.

A special thanks to Pooja Ma’am and Muskan ma’am for facilitating such a fun journey!

Attending the life class centered on the “7 habits and Love” was truly amazing. The sessions were interactive where every participant was encouraged to share their thoughts, fostering a comfortable and supportive environment. I would like to thank both the facilitators ‘Puja ma’am and Muskan ma’am’ as they made the experience memorable by sharing personal stories and detailed insights, which gave me fresh perspectives. Although this blog comes a bit late, I’m filled with gratitude for the new viewpoints and ideas I gained. Reflecting on these lessons reminds us that it’s never too late to grow and make positive changes in our lives.
