Douglas you said " I don’t want to say the way I have been thinking my whole life is wrong, but I will agree to the part that a lot of our thinking is automatic." I agree with this statement because as begin in school and people that play a major part in our lives tend to tell what is right and what is wrong so as we get older we begin to "automatically" think and do things as we were taught. Do you think this is far that we are living our lives by what people are teaching us or should we be living our lives thinking for ourselves?

Bonnie you said "I feel every aspect of pain in my body, and every part that feels fine, I just choose to ignore the parts that are hurting because I am in class and there are other things to be focusing on." i agree with you because in many cases in school we are told to copy something or write an essay but in whih we are ignoring our own body at that because we are being told to do something that is more important that being intouched with our body. do you think it is ok for us to take time for ourselves no matter what we are doing at that time to notice how we are feeling and not get penalized for during so?

crystal you said "I can see us being brain washed with the point that our society educates children to become what they believe is normal. So society teaches us to value what they think is important." i agree with you because as we carried out all of Andy's activities it made us open our eyes about things we have forgotten or even things we dont do anymore etc., this made me realize that because of the society we are in the things we do daily dont valu things like paying attention to ourselves and what made us who we are. Do you think that the society we are living in now is manipulating us from being more connected to oursleves?
