I chose to say "May all individuals gain freedom from suffering" for 10 minutes. While I was saying that I wasn't just thinking about other individuals but I was mostly thinking about the phrase towards myself. It made me feel like I cared to help myself heal.

The area I thought needed development was my mind and how to cope with things. which is thee same area that needs healing. The development that I really gravitate towards that can help me is to learn to meditate and clear my mind as well so I can learn to let things go and not hold them inside. It makes me sick. All I can do is practice forgiving and loving kindness towards myself and others. This will take a lot of practice and I need to be more consistent about it. The same way I take my medicine everyday is the same way I will approach healing myself with the steps Dacher suggests in our book.
