And later, we want to know how to better deal with unpleasant situations in your life, with your struggle with finances, your relationships, or even your colleague, who you feel that you are somehow limiting yourself and not reaching your fullest potential.

So get your pen and paper ready because we are going to die to connect with the real self within us. We are going to know ourselves more by doing a lot of fun exercises and a wonderful class project. This class will invoke emotions, but I bet it will be bothered. Just a brief about the METs benignly enlarge, designing classes and selfish, unfeeling. And this class is another adventure, right for me, where I'll help you discover the best. India. I'm very excited that I got a chance to share all these Levine challenges with you that can transform your life. Are you ready to take them? If yes, let's match straight into the first lesson of this masterclass. 2. Class Requirements: Well, I'm glad that you have considered joining this class. I hope that I make the most of your valuable time and that you and I both have an incredible journey through this class. But before we start diving deep into the living challenges, I want you to have a notebook and a pen ready or three to four big white sheets. Because in many of those challenges we have certain exercises that I want you to do along with me to make the best use of this class. So if you have not held a pen for long, It's time to release your childhood because it's time to write, because when you write it, you feel it and you're more accountable to yourself. So get it ready. And once you have it, will begin our journey of learning challenges to start with the very first challenge in the next lesson. 3. Challenge 1 : The Test of Times: Welcome to the very first challenge of this class. And the challenge for you is that you have to think of people whom you don't like. Who could be a colleague, who could be your family friend, who could be a harsh boss or anyone around you. And challenge is to write three good qualities of them. There will be many things you don't like about this person and that will definitely strike you first within your head. But I want you to push yourself to think of three good qualities in the same person you don't play. So get to your sheet and step one in this challenge for you is to think and write the name of this person you don't like. So for me, it is one of my seniors at work and hurting begins with n, but I won't write the complete name here well, because if she watches this class and sees her name, she'll be fuming at me with anger. So I'll write her initials N and star, star, star. But I want you to write the complete name of this person that you don't like in your life as part of step one in your sheet. Step two, once you have written the name, is to think consciously have three good qualities in them and write them down in your sheet. So for my senior that I mentioned the three good qualities in her that I found were first, she's supportive once we confess that we have committed a mistake. And the story behind that is, I worked for an IT company and as part of the process, we have to keep a check on our inbound and outbound processes and our team missed one of the errors that rarely needed a resolution for missing that error and resolving it. She told us quite harsh words to the extent that we felt we have done a grind just for the fact we were never told how to handle that error and hence, we miss it and we fail to handle it. But then we were on the wrong side of it. We felt quite bad. But the very next day, we set up a Teams call and she told us everything in detail on how to handle such errors. So even though we were disappointed with the reaction at the first place, she was supportive to us the very next day. So that was our very first quality that I could think of. The second quality that I can think of is that being in a senior position, she manages and keeps a very healthy relationship between the clients we serve and the objectives of our company. I have been in meetings with her where I have seen how she put forward so point and how she always tries tries to handle the resolution between the two parties. So that quality also I do appreciate in Hall believed me, I have thought quite a lot about her good qualities and it took me a while to get it. So think of the good-quality of a person you have chosen for you whom you don't like much. The third quality that I can think of her is that when she cares for you, though, she does it very, very selectively. She does it well. There was a time when one of my colleagues who regularly reports to her to leave for a week as he has to go on a vacation and all the work that he does came to me this week. I have to report to her before the start of this week. When I have to report to her, I felt like the world has fallen on me and how will I manage my time window. But then there was nothing that could be done and I have to report to her. So I did that. Unfortunately, that was one of the most peaceful weeks with her. Could be that both of us were dependent on each other for the work. But that week she cared for me and I discovered this beautiful side in her. Yes, there were three good-quality that I could think of her at this moment. Press the pause button, right? Three good qualities of a person you don't take as part of step two of this challenge. Once you have done it, step three, as part of this challenge for you is to think consciously or three lessons that these people you don't like Gary for you? E.g. when the senior, which I didn't like much, I didn't like her ways of leadership. That made me understand the importance of how my current boss is, how his leadership is, how he handles people, and how he takes care of each one of us in the team. I learned to appreciate his ways of handling things in a better way. This was one of the supreme lessons that I learned. The other lesson that I learned was that we became more accurate and more cautious as a team. So this senior for any mistake that we did, always amplified our mistakes. And she says that you guys have been lagging behind a lot and you're also not doing other activities in the right way. Which was really not true. It really hurt us, but it made us more cautious and more vigilant about the activities that we're supposed and meant to do. The third lesson that I learned was that we have to Fabio together with each other with patients. However hard it is until such people are with us. Being with her has made us learn that there will be many people in our lives. Your legs won't be as per your liking, but you have to learn to deal with them, to work with them. And they are really not fully bad that we think they are. Yes, some of their behaviors may not like, but then there are some good qualities in them. Also, these people are meant to make us mentally Stronger, grow more patients in us. And believe me, once we learn the real lesson behind them coming to our life, these people will go away from your life. I have experienced this and I'm sure you would have also experienced this at some stage in your life as well. So by piece in the fact that these people are not fully bad as we think they are. They are good in a different way that they teach us Lesson in a heartbeat, not as per our liking. So do this first challenge. And when you have written down the three qualities of people you don't like, that will help you to appreciate and respect these people around you for what they are. And you will grow peace within you for them than the full hatred that you may have right now. So pass this challenge and see how this small activity can change your life and make you more peaceful. 4. Challenge 2 : The Fuel in You: I hope you like the challenge when it may have made your bit uncomfortable doing this exercise. But the challenge too is very interesting. It will make your emotional, but by the end of this video, you will for sure know a bit more about yourself and can connect with yourself. Better. Challenge two is to write about things, topics, people, and situations that fuel you, that ignites you with angle. Think about what makes you feel bad and what pumps you. List down the instances from your life in your blank sheet where you were boiled with Angular. Think of what caused that to happen and write that down. This form step one of this challenge to e.g. for me, when someone talks about my church education loan to repay and thinks of me as a victim, as a burden person, especially when my parents are worried, I don't feel good. That fuels mean. When they talk about this topic, it really makes me feel bad. It ignites me with Vi, they're saying that and somehow making me feel a victim of that situation. The other thing that fumes me and ignites me is when someone criticizes me or falsely says something that I have not done, I really cannot tolerate that. You see one of the seniors I was talking off in the last challenge. She told her team months that we are doing things blindly and performing a lot of mistakes, which we will not. And I showed her the evidence in presence of the whole team and the whole management. They agreed, but that instance of her lying rarely fueled me and our team. The other thing that ignited me is when someone compares me to someone in any aspect, I really don't like it. This also boys me with angle. So write down your specific instances as many as they are, but at least three. You can also answer this challenge by thinking on what makes you feel bad, what makes you feel vulnerable, what causes you to be angry? And one fact that you observed most of the time is that there will be same situations with the same or different person that ignites you. That brings me to step two of this challenge, where I want you to think about each of those circumstances or situations. Whether what is fueling you is fueling you for good or for worse. Whether you're over-performing or underperforming through your field. E.g. one of my friends or I would say a competitor from a different college, say the ones quite a lot of nasty things about our badminton team. And at that point, I didn't respond, I just hold it. But the next day itself, we had a final match against them. And those nasty words often pushed us to perform better and we eventually ended up winning it. But on the other time, when one of my family members said bad words to me, I was unable to tolerate that. I said a lot of bad words and respond to that, which I regret now. So think of those situations and see what fuels you and whether it fuels you for good or for worse. See how you're giving your responses. Most of the time, you will see your expression of anger at that point may lead you to regret later because you have spoken a lot of bad words that you may not even think for them, but you ended up saying it. So in the instances that you have written, observe your reactions, observed whether the intensity of your anger over the period of time has remained the same or has it reduced? Once you have done that, I'll give you a challenge number three to counter this situation. And you will observe after that, that it saves you from a lot of guilt and hoard that you may have gone through. How do you not pass challenge three? So let's jump straight into the next lesson where I will give you a challenge number three, which will also give answers to this challenge. Number two. 5. Challenge 3 : The Test of Hold: So as you have written in challenge to versa circumstances, people and situations that fuels you. Here comes challenge three for you that will help you counter some of those situations that fuels you with angle, the challenges with howsoever region, how much you want to blow off the other person because he or she has said nasty things to you and you want to punch them off. Challenge for you is to speak with them in a pleasant tone. Yes, When you're at an angle, you'll be pulled from within to express. You will be pushed to express. But at that exact time when you are in a rage, hold yourself. And if you want to speak, if you want to respond back, speak in a pleasant tone because inevitably you will regret what we have spoken off. You know, once I had an argument with my sister because she said a lot of things that hurt me about my career and I was unable to digest all those things that she said. I fumed with anger and I stayed a lot of things that I didn't mean and I still regret why I said those, that bad words. You see, this is what Angular does. It takes over you and your senses. And you happen to inevitably shout and lose your control. Because when you are shouting and anger, you want to win and you want to prove yourself, right? You don't understand things, you don't understand the perspectives of people around you. Even I didn't understand my sister's perspective, which I think was right from her side, but in anger, I didn't see it. So take this challenge and pass this challenge, which is whenever you find things, stuff, whenever you are fusing with angle because things have not gone. Yogi, push yourself to speak in a pleasant tone because your mind remains come when you speak of pleasantly. When it remains calm, you make better decisions and you don't hold people with your words. You don't lose relationships. Instead, the thing, the words of others that few Mu, try to channel them within you for something better. Anger can come, and it is okay to be angry. In fact, Swami Vivekananda says, it is the fools who can't get angry device, don't get in a state of anger or respond calmly. And once you speak calmly, do remain in control of yourself. By passing this challenge, you will pass the test of equanimity, which means you will remain calm in bad times and of course, in your good times to pass this challenge of speaking in a pleasant tone and see how making this small change changes your life. 6. Challenge 4 : The Forbearance Test: I hope you're enjoying the challenges. Are you? I seriously hope, yes. We've already give you challenge them before. I want you to again, go back to your blank sheet and do an activity as step one for this challenge. The activity for you is to write all your unpleasant things, the unwanted situations that you are going through right now and write them all down. This could be an issue with finances, your bank loans, you're struggling or relationship, or in your career, or in your health, or a friend who has audio, whatever is your problem. What are the unpleasant situations? Write them all down and make sure to write at least five of the pains that you are going through or you have gone through, there are still impacting you currently. E.g. for me, one of my unpleasant situations is I have a huge education loan with a very high interest rate. That loan I needed at a time of emergency, but now it is a cause of state inconvenience in my life and I have to pay back. So this is an honest confession and an honest area of pain for me. So pause this video, right, five of the unpleasant situations you are going through in any aspect of your life. And then I'll give you step two as part of this challenge. So once you have written the five unpleasant points of your life, step two is to think against each of those points as to what you can do about it. E.g. for the huge education on that I had, I asked this question from myself, can I do something about it? The answer is a big yes. And then I realize it, I started working more. I started doing more Feast reading. I had a job, and I started designing more self-help classes. In fact, the additional loan pushed me to work harder, pushed me to go beyond myself and pushed me to realize more of what I can do with my life. And yes, the results were rarely wonderfully as this question against each of those unpleasant things you have written on that sheet of yours. Can you do something about that? If the voice within your head says, Yes, you have it in you, you can do something about it. Do that. Because believe it or not, this problem, this pain that is dead and your life is a blessing to connect to your passion and to your purpose. In fact, you can discover more about why I'm saying this in my other class. Discover your life purpose in five steps where I have shared in depth how your pains are necessary to connect to your purpose of life. But for now, do this. If you get yes as an answer to can you do something about your pain or you're unpleasant time from the beautiful voice in your head. Do that. You may start slow, but make sure to put your footsteps in the right direction, at least try for that. And if the answer to that question is no, you cannot do anything about it. Surrender that paint to the higher part of the universe, to the higher intelligence you believe in that guides your life, that will definitely guide you to the best solution. Maybe not now, but definitely in your future. And this brings me which you may have forgotten, but I have not, which is to give you challenge number four, which is to accept all things, the good things and the unpleasant things, the unpleasant times with grace. Just believe with whatever happens to you, there's a bigger plan in motion set by the higher intelligence and the power of universe you believe in. Just remember one thing that if things in your life go according to your plan, then that's great and awesome. But if it doesn't go according to you, it goes according to the plan of the universe, according to God's plan. And it definitely is a better plan that you cannot imagine right now, but you'll discover the benefits of it later. How many times you may have said later in your life to your past situation, what happened with me? The unpleasant thing, they break up, the failure in one of the interviews has happened for good. In fact, I have said it many times and I feel that is the part of higher intelligence that always things good for us. So pause this challenge number four, except everything pleasant or unpleasant in your life with grease. Don't complain and don't blame others for your life. And see how passing this challenge transformed your life. I bet it would for sure. 7. Challenge 5 : Breaking The Broken: Now that we have done for challenges, I'm sure you would have discovered more about you, which you haven't paid much attention to by now, but there is a lot more to be explored. And hence I give you this challenge, Dumbo five, which is to break your mental barriers. Now for this challenge step one is to again go on a blank sheet and write for things that constrain you, that scare you or that limits you. E.g. my strong mental barrier was my superstitious habit, which started when I played badminton matches. Where these thoughts came into my mind that if I touch the outer line of the court, the badminton court, of course, my fleets and then I play the match, I will win the match. Or a thought will strike in my head on the road before my badminton match, that if I touch the upcoming speed breaker with my hand or feats while walking, I will win the match. This to postition extended to almost every dimension of my life where I thought if I view that specific watch, that specific t-shirts, good things will happen to me. And if I don't do that, everything bad will happen to me. It became so prevalent in my life that I considered specific days of my week to be good days and specific days to be bad. And without exercising these superstitions, I fail to void in my every day. But then there was my friend's mom who talked with me and that day was Saturday IN my friend had a badminton mass that day in the evening, and I was talking to her about Saturday is not lucky for me and we might not win today. Then she told me that day, that every day is your day. Don't believe in all these superstitions. All of these things are illogical and they only constraint you by putting in you. And I don't know how that appeal to me. I realized how touching that stupid speed breaker with my hands or feet can determine the success of my life or my game. How a black cat that crosses or part to reach a specific destination can be a bad omen to humans not crossing that part. It is V only who give routes to all these baseless things. And then we manifest results. According to that. I did that too. But now I have broken all those mental barriers. It was very tough. Believed me still these thoughts come into my life, but I break them forcefully, forcefully do things which are against it. And I repeat in my mind affirmations that things are going to be incredible. So step two of this challenge is to break your mental barriers, is to break your fears. Whatever you feel is hindering you and it's an internal force which you believe is absolutely illogical. Break them because that's how you're going to conquer them. Whatever fields you have it in your mind that you feel you only have cultivated. Maybe you have borrowed from some of your friends, someone in your family, break them, do the exact opposite of what your mind says. When those fuels dichloride, you'll realize once you break them, you will feel limitless. You will feel a level of freedom where you think you can achieve your goal with at least no internal restrictions from within your main external toughness, difficult situations can come unwelcome. But when you have a strong mind to counter them, you're much more likely to execute them. And then in your life. So pass this challenge number five, break your mental barriers. Ask whether what you're believing about your field. Is that logical or is it something that you have made up by herself as I did with my superstitions. If it is made up in your mind, break it because that's the first value or the first vowel of defense that stops you from achieving the best interview. So do this activity, right, your fears and your mental barriers. Until we meet in the next lesson where I'm going to throw you the challenge number six. 8. Challenge 6 : Pushing to be Uncomfortable: Challenge number six is an exciting challenge because in this challenge, I want you to write three things that you're uncomfortable doing on your notepad, on your blank sheet. Of course, those activities that need to be moral and ethical, just think through it and write them down. So for me, the first thing that I can think of is I feel talking in a social setting with a new group of people. It makes me uncomfortable. I feel like how node can I start a conversation? It really gets awkward at times. I'm just very scared of that. The second thing that I can think of is doing new expeditions and adventures. I feel fearful and I feel uncomfortable doing this new expeditions, especially when I'm starting it. So just a few days back, my sister wanted me to go on a track to nil, which is a very famous track Huber enrich engage in India. I was badly scared of it and I found v is not to go, but my sister was adamant on it. And I had to go with in fact, I enjoyed to the full list, but you see, I was uncomfortable at that first instance. The third thing that I can think of for me is when I have to talk on older relatives on phone, it really is one of the toughest things to do for me. So write those of your things. It could be more than three also that make you uncomfortable in every week, try to push yourself out of this comfort zone of yours where you do one of those activities that makes you uncomfortable. For me. I'm promising to you that I'm going to be more open to accepting more adventurous and expeditions. I'll also try talking to us on phones and of course I will push myself to go in a social setting in torque. This is definitely something that I'm going to try to do at least once in a week or in Oman. But I want your promise also as a challenge to push yourself to do things that you are uncomfortable doing. I'm sure doing that will unlock your potential and lets you discover new limits for yourself. So pause this challenge number six, consciously push yourself to be uncomfortable and see how doing that makes you limitless. Pause this video and complete this activity until I catch you in the next lesson with challenge number seven, are waiting for you. 9. Challenge 7 : The Forgiveness Challenge: Welcome to challenge them. Or seven, this challenge I bet is going to make you more loving and compassionate towards yourself. The challenge is that when you have tried your best, given your best, but somehow results didn't come your way or you have experienced a failure at that exact moment, I want you to pass this challenge, which is to forgive yourself and not say negative votes to you. This means that don't say to you words like, I'm unlucky or every time bad happens to me, god always plays dice with me and keeps me on the wrong side. Don't blame yourself or coerce yourself with negative words. Just think, at this moment, when you have failed, it's okay to fail and that you have given your best, and that's the best you could have done. Saying bad words. So you will only increase or disappointments and hot and will not lead you to the path of success. You know, whenever we lost a bad mix and match, I used to say earlier a lot of bad words to me. I abused myself on a premise that it motivates me. But in reality, it does not. It only aggravated my suffering and those votes didn't make me feel good. You see how those words scan when they rarely are negative in nature. So this time, when results don't forget, forgive yourself that you can go around and accept the result with grease waste was also one of our challenges. I'm also practicing forgiveness, not only for others but also for myself. Whenever I do a mistake, it has made me more loving and I now have more love for myself. I have fewer hertz and fewer disappointments now. So conquer this challenge anytime you face the results, not going to obey. Forgive yourself, and don't say negative words to you and see how practicing that changes your trajectory of life. For now, think of an instance when you said that to yourself and forgive yourself for that time and make sure to practice this in future too. When you have committed a mistake. With that, I'm done with this lesson and I'll meet you in the next lesson to give you a challenge number eight. This way, we are very, very close to finally making it to the end of this masterclass. Let's do it. Let's do it now. 10. Challenge 8 : Transcending Immediate Gratification: Well, we have made it so far to seven challenges. And now I'm going to give you a challenge number eight, which is of course a difficult one as each one of the earlier challenges was. But this one you will find it tough to execute because it straight away deals with exercising your self-control and curving your urges. And hence challenge number eight for you is to not give into your instant gratification. This means when you have seen a bogus tall, now you won't fall for it to turn your car towards that stall, immediately. Have that burger. This means now you don't fall prey to the attractions of discounts. That leads you to act impulsively to make a purchase of your next new phone, or click on the pop-up notification for your next pizza that comes at a discount on your phone. You see we all fall prey to these things that appeal to our senses. We fall for attractive things and somehow we act in an impulse to have things just now as if that is the only thing that can make our life happiest and nothing else is that whenever you get access to these lucrative attractions or temptations, or I would say, distractions in your life. I want you to pause yourself and delay your purchase decision. Maybe if it's a big purchase like a phone or a laptop delayed by a day. If it's a burger purchase delayed by an hour if you're not hungry, take whether it's really a need or is it just your senses pushing you to have it and do it? You know what dealing your instinct urges annual instant gratification. So I'll do it will make you act responsibly and it will help you take decisions wisely. Just a few days back, my phone had fallen off while tracking and the whole screen, bro. And then immediately I thought, **** buy a new phone. Then I saw is on the internet that same day for phones as per my budget. And I also went into checking the local retail mobile stores, through which I found that one of the stores that this broken phone off mine can also be repaired, which I have never enquired or never thought of. So I have got this phone repaired and it is functioning as well as before. You'll see it saved me so much money that I could have spent because of the range of emotions and temptations that I experienced when it broke. I just wanted to have the new phone and I ignored all the other options. This is what happens when we act out of emotions and foil to temptations are all other options in life, our blood, and we end up making bad decisions. So cobe yourself to act immediately, especially when you are emotionally. Do not give into your senses, your tongue that makes you feel the taste of the burger without even pasting it. Just think through delayed and don't act immediately. If it's a very necessary thing in your life to get it, then only make this decision to purchase any new thing you see that you are attracted do. Once you start doing that and exercising self-control regularly. This will turn into a wonderful habit where you will feel that you are more in charge of yourself. Where you will feel that life happens as for you and not the other way round. So pause this challenge amber rate, pause when you are emotionally and don't give into immediate gratification and temptations and see how that changes your life. 11. Challenge 9 : The Real Sacrifice: Challenge number nine is an interesting challenge because in this challenge, I want you to sacrifice your bond for those needs. This means you give back to the world, to the people, and to your partner who needs your time than watching your favorite book of match. At that time. It's all about you sacrificing your comfort for others. This sacrifice could be of your time to not watch your favorite match and instead be with your family fully engaged at that time. The sacrifice of your money for someone in need than spending for yourself to watch a movie or even rendering food to the needy people in your vicinity. It's about caring and giving, challenge of giving, of sacrificing for others. I want you to continue for at least one week where you give and sacrifice. Just one thing that you have, one person every day for a week. You could share your skill in an NGO or a non-profit and sacrifice your time of entertainment. The time to teach young students your scale, or give your ears to listen to someone in need, or literally anything. The point here is to sacrifice your wand and give back. What giving an sacrificing does is it makes you happy and joyful. You experienced the happiness, the joy when you give, unconditionally, seek the opportunity to help and see how when you think of making better the lives of others, how when you're selfless, you make your life better. So pause this challenge of sacrificing your void for others, need your entertainment for others, did try it for a week with whatever you can give and see how doing that improves your happiness levels. If you like doing that, continue it for the rest of your life. And a piece of good news is we have by far made it to challenge them a name. And we are very close to finishing all Levine challenges. You're doing great. My dear friend, I'm telling you believe me, but I hope that I'm also doing good. Let's smash together onto the next challenge in the next lesson. 12. Challenge 10 : The Complimenting Habit: Challenge number ten is something that may come naturally to you or you may need to make an effort. But when you pass that challenge, it will make others feel good about them. It will make them feel recognized and people will want to be with you. So Charlie number ten for you is to give a compliment, at least one person every day. This means you may appreciate your colleague, your resistant your partner, or even your parents for the good food, for the good work, for the good words that they say, or even for how they look. You have to try to give at least one person in your day as sweet compliment because a complement does wonders. When you give a compliment, people feel recognized, happy, and motivated. And in turn, they want to give you more of what they have and what they can. In this busy world, we may feel that others know what we feel about them. And because of that, we may restrain to give a compliment or B, even forget about it because we don't think of it. Make an effort to understand, to appreciate even a little contribution done by someone in your life that can really make a day for that person once you compliment them. If you find giving a compliment, tough start slowly, don't thank to humans at first, then start with thanking the universe. The sunlight gives bright light everyday. Start appreciating nature, and then slowly shift that behavior to appreciating Schumann's around you. Once you start complementing people every day, you will feel more positivity around you. Pass this challenge, give a compliment each day and see how doing that regularly changes your life for good and great. 13. Challenge 11 : Luxury Spending Cost: We're onto the final challenge of this class. And this challenge is not a challenge like the ones that I've shared with you so far. It's rather an interesting money challenge that will help you be wiser about. What money challenge live in is this, which is whenever you do a high expenditure for purchasing a phone or a microwave, a card, or even going to a high-end restaurant. I want you to put 20% of the amount to spend on these things towards your saving. On that same The itself. This means if you are planning to purchase a phone worth $1,500, you have to put 20% of it. That is $300 towards your saving or mutual funds or in a fixed deposit that the itself, when you are making a big purchase, what it will do is it will make you more cautious towards your money spending. And whenever you intend to go for this big purchase, you will also have to think of this extra cost of luxury that you need to pay. So you can also call this 20% a luxury spending costs associated with these big purchase. For try inculcating this practice of putting 20 per cent of the full amount spent into your savings the same day you make your big purchase and see how that improves your spending habits. And in turn, it helps you become wiser about handling money. With this, I'm done with sharing all having challenges with you. I hope you appreciate the challenges, but this is not all and we're not finished. In the next lesson, I have a very interesting class project for you where I'm going to ask you to rate the importance of each of those challenges and how it impacts your life. So let's jump straight into it and see what's awaiting for you in the store. 14. Class Project : Identifying My Challenges: Welcome to the penultimate video of this class. And this one is going to be defining for you because I'm going to share with you a very, very interesting class project. The class project is this, as we have gone through the living challenges throughout this class, some of those challenges or activities you may already have, or you may have already been practicing it. In this class project, what we will do is we will specifically identify the challenges that are meant for us based on the impact of those challenges in our life as low or high as of this moment. Just to mention, okay, okay. Means a medium impact, not solo, not so high. You can download this sheet that I'm going to attach where I have listed the element challenges and the impact on life for those challenges. Where you can check these boxes to identify the important challenges for you that you need to succeed in. So let me do it for us and identify the challenges that I need to pay special attention and care to improve my life. And I'll make sure to upload this in the project section. And I want you also to take a sniff and upload your project in the project gallery. For me, challenge one, which is writing the three qualities of a person. I don t think I consider it an okay. Okay. Impact level in my life. And I take this box because right now I don't have a lot of people to hate or who are not good in my life. If you have those people and you are finding it tough, pick this high checkbox. The second challenge, writing the things slash topics that fuels me or ignites me. I definitely give it a high impact on me because as I listed, there are quite a lot of things that fuels me and I want to channel that fuel in the right direction. So it will definitely take the high-impact checkbox for this challenge for myself. The third challenge that is speaking in a pleasant tone, again, who is significantly high impact? Because at times I may get loud. So keeping this challenge in mind helps me get over it. You'll see these challenges acts as a great reminder. And recall at the time this event is occurring when we are angry and because of these practices we have done, we can control or channel them because we know that we are weak in that and we can falter in that. Let's now see how is the impact for challenge for in my life. And similarly check for you. Challenge for voice, except unpleasant things with Greece, this holds and Okey-dokey impact for me because I do accept things the way they are, especially from the last three to four years. So it's definitely an akio came back for me. Challenge phi, which is to break the mental barriers holds low impact for me right now. Because I have already gotten over it. I have got over my superstitions and fuels. But if it has a high impact on you, then this challenge is for you. Challenge six, which is making yourself uncomfortable, holds again in Okey-dokey impact on my life because I don't encounter these situations often until my sister pushes me to go on a new adventure. But I'll definitely keep this in mind. Challenge seven, which is to forgive yourself and curtail speaking negative words holds a high impact for me and I regularly practice this whenever something wrong happens from my side or iPhone. But internally, I know I have given my best. I forgive myself and I don't hold a lot of grudges against me. Challenge it, which deals with not giving into immediate gratification, holds a significantly high impact for me because exercising self-control and not always falling prey, what my census is, what I practice every day, every opportunity where I can see I may fall prey to it. I do try to resist that and we'll continue doing so because delaying gratification is very important to taking control of your actions. And hence, it's a high-impact challenge for me. Challenge nine, which is to sacrifice my one for those needs, holds an okay. Okay. Impact as this I have been practicing for a long time and it's significantly become part of my nature now. Challenge, which is to complement one person every day holding, Okay. Okay, impact as I'm in the practice of giving complement almost every day. Challenge lemon, which is to put 20% also holds in Tokyo. Okay, impact because I'm in a practice of doing that. So Mark whatever holds true for you against these challenges. To reiterate, mark high impact for the ones you feel you need to do right now. And practice them every day. For ones where you have more glue or Okey-dokey. This you may ignore for now, but make sure to come at it later. Once you have completed this, I want you to pick the high-impact challenges for you. And those are the challenges that you need to practice and remember specifically for you. So for me, challenge to challenge three, challenge seven and challenge eight, or the high-impact challenges, which I'll for sure remember, if you want, you can also paste these challenges on your work desk. Just as a reminder, this sheet that you have prepared with your checkboxes, I want you to upload it in the project section because that also is a significant step towards taking the right direction to know what areas you are strong in and what areas you need to improve. So upload your sheet. I'm going to upload mine, and this sums up the class project. For this class. I hope you enjoy doing this activity. So finished this.
