During the time that we did this activity, I always wondered what its purpose really was. Well after doing twenty-four of those and then reading over them again, I can say that I’ve figured out the purpose of this activity. Obviously, it’s to know how you’re feeling at the day you do the compass. However, this exercise helps you be more connected with your emotions since you’re doing self-meditation analyzing how your day go, to help you fill out the compass. It also helps you understand the emotions you are feeling for the future purpose of asking yourself, “Oh, why am I feeling like this?” You’ll be able to tell yourself, “I’ve felt this way before and this is how I cope with it.” Even if I didn’t understand the purpose of this assignment I think I do now, it helped me understand more what I was feeling and coming to terms with it, something that’s easier said than done.
A pattern I saw in these compasses is how close my overall score per area was from each other. A little bit odd if I might say so myself, regardless a bit happy since I am neither super low or super high any of the areas. I’m right there in the middle. Except in the Awareness, I guess I’m not as aware as I thought I was, or maybe I wasn’t as aware as I usually am since I this is my last class. Another interesting aspect that I saw was the connections between all the areas of the compass. Sometimes when my mental score was low my awareness or physical score was low as well. It was an experiment that a thoroughly learned from and will use in the future.
