Good Deed  Sample
I  never  thought  that  our  actions  can  be  detrimental   for  our  health  and   flourishing.  Yes, we  have  always  been called  upon  to be  charitable  and  kind towards  others. However, this  assignment  calls  for  reflecting  on what  we  are  doing  and  building   good  dispositions   and  psychological well-being.  We  know  that  we live  in  a  society   in which   we are  pressured  to  work  hard  and  think only  about ourselves.  But this  philosophy  calls me  to  think about  the impact  of  my  little  actions  on  myself  and  how  they  shape  me  as  a  human  being.
      Good deed:   I worked on paperwork to apply for non-profit status for a new charitable organization that I’m a part of. This  gave  me  a  tremendous satisfaction  that I am  doing  something  valuable  for  our  community and the  people this  organization  may  impact. 
 
Good deed:     I culled my personal library to select books to donate. One of my roommates had gone home on Friday night, and was on her way back around 9 on Saturday night. She loves hot tea and honey, so I decided to make a cup and have it waiting for her when she came in. It was just a small gesture, but she was really thankful.
 
  
Good deed:     Both of my roommates have busy Friday schedules, and we had all made dinner on Thursday night, so the sink was filled with dishes. Dirty dishes really make me nauseous, and I typically clean any ones that I make dirty right away, but I was so exhausted after cooking and let them sit. While my roommates were in class, I did all of our dishes. It was really gross, but they were thankful.
  
Good deed:      I did my usual weekly volunteer work at Meals on Wheels and the Library.
The ceiling fam in our living room had stopped working, and the maintenance man at our apartment complex had to come replace it. I never realized how much work was put into such a task, and he really had an exhausting time switching the fans out. I offered him some of our water and asked if he wanted a snack, and even though he turned down the offer, it was good letting him know that he was appreciated.

Sample Meditation
Meditation:   I never  thought  that  I  can  control  my  inner self  and  do  meditations.  I  thought i  reflected   randomly, but  last  year  for me  was  the beginning  of seriously  thinking about meditation … because  of  the COVID pandemic.  I  am  starting  to realize  this also is  an important  part of  being a human  being. We  have to  carry  and  nourish ourselves and prepare to  think of it   as  an important part of  health.
   Shortly after I began meditating, my cat jumped up in my lap and began nudging me, trying to get me to respond. Rather than pushing him away, I maintained my focus and my stillness. Soon he lay in my lap and joined me in meditation. This experience led me to reflect that he is actually a good role model, as he spends a lot of time in what looks like meditation. Perhaps I’ll invite him to join me again sometime.
 
Meditation:      I continue to have thoughts (albeit nonverbal) arise occasionally, but I experience them as apart from myself such that I am merely an observer of them. I am generally able to simply let them float on by rather than getting ensnared by them.
 
Meditation:      Today, in addition to focusing on the ringing in my ears, I also focused on the syllable, “OM”. Doing so seemed to result in a more effective barrier to impinging thoughts.

Meditation:      I officially increased the duration of my meditations today by setting the alarm for 10 minutes instead of 5. Interestingly, it did not seem any longer than previously, which I guess is a good sign. I also had a bit of an insight today. As I continue to observe and dismiss thoughts that arise, I notice that the quality of those thoughts has changed. Earlier on, those thoughts had to do with rehashing experiences of daily life, or anticipating and planning upcoming events; i.e., living in the past or the future. That has shifted such that the thoughts that do arise have more to do with what I am observing in the present moment. They are often thoughts about my thoughts, or even, sometimes, thoughts about my thoughts about my thoughts. Where might this infinite regress lead?
 
Meditation:      As I sat quietly observing my own thoughts and mental images, the question arose: “Who is being observed, and who is doing the observing?” Are they distinct, or is that an illusion? And what does it mean for a mind to contemplate itself?
