Unit 6 exercises

So... I have found it very challenging completing any of these exercises lately, because when I lay down, close my eyes and start meditating, the next thing that occurs is that I am waking up several hours later.  Hard to do when you are so tired.  That being said, I'll say that while doing the unit 6 exercise, I have discovered that the current most urgent area that I need to work on is my self image.  I strongly dislike my physical fitness level, being overweight, and also lazy as a norm.  This is an area that effects my self-esteem, meaning that it is really important to me.  I have started to work on this by starting a diet last week, and have lost 5 pounds so far.  I have not began exercising yet because well I have absolutely no energy, and because it is not a habit and I am overwhelmed by the things I have to get done.  However, I am sure I'll get there eventually, I know exercise is healthy for my body, it'll increase my strength and energy level, make me feel better physically and emotionally, and will help to reduce stress.  Another area that came to my mind is my relationships.  I am still getting angry about things, however through this exercise I am becoming more accepting of myself and others, and am able to be a little more forgiving.  Also, there are painful areas that just cannot be fixed, but seeing from the perspective of a witnessing mind helps me to have patience and faith that one day healing and understanding and forgiveness will come when it is ready.  I think that these exercises have taught me a lot about myself.  I am becoming more aware of the negativity in my body and mind during the day, and when I notice my muscles tense, I try to relax them.  Just awareness alone helps so much.  I am started to get a greater understanding at times and am enjoying the opening of my mind.
