Before this Quest on Self-Love my life was in deep turmoil. I am experiencing intense sadness due to this grief in losing my beloved husband.
After taking this Quest, I feel somewhat "at peace" with my life now. The pain, the grief may still be there, but I have gained a lot of learning and wisdom from this Quest. I had the time to dig deeper into my life - my past, my present and my future, and it feels good. There may have been some exercises which brought me to tears, recalling how I shared them with my husband, but knowing that I am strong - these exercises for me were very productive.
The reason I enrolled in the Quest was that I felt I needed this to have some validations if I am still okay with myself. These past 9 months since my husband's death were so heartbreaking, and I felt I was not okay anymore. But at the same time, my resolve to make something good out of this "new life" was just as intense as my grief. - what I was hoping to achieve: an extraordinary new life, and living the best version of myself.
This Quest would be a treasure to all those who are in situations as I am: suffering from loss of a loved one. This might not totally take the grief away, but this Quest is an eye-opener. This would lift and boost their spirits enough for them to get up and decide to enroll in this Quest.
Areas of my life where I noticed the biggest changes in my life are my intellectual areas - a life of never-ending intellectual improvement and education and my Emotional life - I would like to rise up from this grief and relieve all those so happiest moments of my life. (as of the moment I cannot imagine being in this state though, but I know there will come a time that it would be okay for me to move on)....
My top 3 takeaways or insights during/after finishing this Quest are:
1) I got to know myself better, whether the Perfect Me that I would like to achieve or the REAL ME that is the genuine me.
2) The exercise in Lesson 4: Finding my Superpowers was an eye-opener. I discovered a lot about myself through other people's perception of what I am to them
3) Embracing my dragons was a very powerful exercise for me.
The biggest positive change I've noticed in myself is that I am so focused on my Personal Development/Growth that I won’t stop in this Quest alone. I will take other Quests in Mindvalley and will make sure I will be victorious in these Quests.
