SAL Master Challenge
EXERCISE #11
1. As you reflect on the five areas of Self-Oneness:
- Physical Fitness
- Alone Time / Solitude
- Inner Life
- Self-love
- Self-compassion
What one area do you neglect or struggle with the most?
Record your thoughts on the subject in your SAL Journal and include ideas about what you might do better to nurture that part of your nature moving forward.
2. Set aside a morning or afternoon (at least 4 hours) to spend completely alone. If possible, an entire day would be even better. During this time, do not use any technology except for writing/typing tools. Use this time to do one or more of the following activities: plan, ponder, reflect, introspect, think, read, study, walk, hike, meditate, pray, worship, deep breathing, etc.
When you are finished, journal about your experience and the things you thought about, felt, and did.
3. There are two things human beings absolutely cannot live without: water and air. Yet too often, we don't get enough of either of these essential elements. Two of the simplest and most beneficial things a self-action leader can do to enhance their overall health and energy is to consciously drink more water and inhale and exhale more air.
For five (5) consecutive days, do the following:
a). Drink at least 64 ounces (two liters) of fresh drinking water during each 24-hour period.
b). Take 10 deep breaths (inhaling and exhaling each time for as long as you comfortably can) three times (3X) each day—once in the morning, once in the afternoon, and once in the evening.
c). After completing these tasks for five (5) consecutive days, record in your SAL Journal how these exercises made you feel. Did you notice any collateral benefits of increasing your intake of air and water?
Did you have more energy, vigor, and vim?
Did it positively impact your attitude? If so, how?
4. Identify three (3) areas where you need to be tougher on yourself. Record these things in your SAL Journal and make notes on how you could improve in the future.
5. Identify three (3) areas where you are being too tough on yourself. Record these things in your SAL Journal and make some notes about how you could better practice self-compassion and self-love in these areas.
