Hope you all had a very nice Chinese New Year celebration ka.
I had wonderful time with my family and felt quite relaxed after a series of activities that were far too interesting not to share ka:))!
On one end, I've heard of a course entitled, 'Who am I?', a 5-day session under the whole program called, PRH drawn from French and its English version is Personality and Human Relations, which has been introduced since 1970 and to Thailand in 1979. On the other, the more I work on EdPEx -- a quality framework and internationalization (IZN), the better I appreciate self assessment processes.
Finally, I decided to spend 5 days at its venue in Ladkrabang area, meeting with 10 other participants from different sectors, mainly private, and learning from a Catholic priest (we called him 'Father'.....by the way, this session is sort of psychology-oriented and isn't related directly to any religion but when we talk about human beings, religious teachings can be cited from time to time, out loud or in my mind too ka.
I have a few exercises that I like but let me share several ka:
First, we determined our 'Being' (ธาตุแท้)....they have to be all positive, showing that every human being has some excellent qualities in themselves and if we all can identify them, we can maximize the great qualities to lead our lives to the best we can ka.
Seriously, I felt shy to think of the nice qualities in me but it was a nice exercise to learn what's been hidden or outstanding ka.
Second, I loved sharing about our 'character or fear' that may have been rooted from very young age. This exercise asked us to think of our own selves what we are afraid of or how we behave. I thought of my own fear of crossing streets (and no desire to learn to drive). Now it's confirmed that it must have been because of the accident occurred when I was very young, waking up to find myself and my family members lying down on the street. Father said if we could trace back to find the cause, we would be able to heal the pain/rid the fear/correct the habit. Normally, with right methods, it can take about 10 years to be healed ka.
In this particular session, several were in tears talking about what they thought could cause their particular behavior.....really interesting to see one 40+ guy cry like a child and the other in his early 50s feeling really hurt!
I shared this activity with my family for them to explore what they may have felt from their younger days and how they should also think of their own children ka.
Third, we thought of those who were close to us and who bore impacts on us. Strange enough, I learned that the ones I wasn't so comfortable with, after all, were so distant from my life that I shouldn't have taken them seriously loei ka! I felt much better after it and know who else I should pay my attention to ka.
Lastly, on decision making, an exercise introduced us to ask several questions:
- Are we making our mind basing on our own inner feeling/our 'being', not on others' expectations?
- Have we used the best of our own 'being' to do that particular task, or do we do what has exceeded our abilities?
- Are we sincere to our own selves to decide what to do or are we simply yearning for 'recognition'?
More to follow soon ka.
