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.

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.

7 Habits Love and Life (Alfa)

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.
