What was the most challenging parts of your practices this week?

What might you do differently next time?

The most challenging things is to use my character strength, that part is easy but also difficult, because I am not sure when and where can use my character strength, and how to express my thought. There is a different between daily life and hand-write things. Also, the language is a big challenging for me, English is not my first language, so there are many problems when I am doing my work.

The next time, I will try to touch different area and friends; maybe I can use same character strength to do different things, I believe it will produce different thought and emotion.

Turn my phone off when I eat a meal

Thought about what things can instead of the phone, what topic I need to talk with my friend

Feels not bad but tired

Depressed, confusing, lonely

For this week's practice, I couldn't do it well because it was very difficult. Mobile phone is an important role for me, it gives me a sense of security, when I leave the mobile phone, I will be nervous. But turning your phone off while you're eating is a good start. You'll be really focused on the meal, and you'll want to talk to the people next to you instead of picking up your phone to play instead of communicating. Turning your phone off is a good start, but it's also the hardest part. I think the best part of this exercise is that it made me seriously think about the negative effects of mobile phones on us, the emotional changes caused when we leave them because we are too dependent on them. I hope one day I can use it for less time.
