Bliss Assignment

5 Obstacles:

Finding which fear I am willing to openly talk about, thinking about times in which this fear has really affected me, finding a way to incorporate this fear into something tangible, being able to successfully establish an understanding of what my fears are, and being able to determine what type of fear it is.

3 What ifs

What if I go out and try to experience my fears firsthand to see what would be my greatest fears?

What if I make a list of all things that scare me and determine which is a fear I want to talk about?

What if I talk about a fear that I am comfortable with sharing?

The bliss exercise was very useful for me to be able to start understanding my fear assignment. I found that in my case, I cannot simply go and do something and get bliss out of it. Simply shopping just for the sake of it or going out and getting food, or even making a video where I do something fun is not enough for me to have a fully blissful time. Although it is an enjoyable period of time, I find much more comfort in bliss once I have accomplished something previously in the day. For the period of time that I considered my “Bliss assignment” I had just beforehand worked out and found out that I had been invited to join the honors college. This put my mind at ease and made it much more enjoyable to enjoy myself doing nothing of productivity for three hours. I found the overall experience to be enriching and comforting. I had no worries for that amount of time and was able to focus more on things I was interested in rather than what the world wanted me to do. I appreciated the experience I had with this very much, and found out many important qualities about myself that I have lost over the past few months.
