The 7 Weeks of Transformation starts on the evening of Thursday April 6th, 2023

First week: Love and kindness.
We would like to show love and kindness to people around us. We are all connected in the tapestry of life. Our soul needs love as much as our body needs food and liquids. Love has the power of healing. Sick people who are surrounded by loving family members, heal faster. When we feel loved through our lives, we can push ourselves, follow our dreams, and reach our potential. 

Thursday evening 4/6: How is our love? Are we comfortable of showing love, or are we embarrassed? 

Friday evening 4/7: Are we loving appropriately? Are we being overbearing, or are we being limited? Can we help someone on their terms not on ours? 

Saturday evening 4/8: Are we compassionate when we love?

Sunday evening 4/9: Is our love lasting even when we are tired, hungry, sad, or when we don’t feel being loved back? 

Monday evening 4/10: Are we thankful for being able to love others, or only when we are being loved by others? Can we swallow our pride and reconcile with a loved one we have quarreled with?

Tuesday evening 4/11: Do we feel that our bond with people is getting stronger when we love, or do we feel lonelier? 

2nd week: self-judgment and self- discipline.

Good judgement and discipline is useful when we judge and discipline ourselves, and it’s always a good idea to lead by example. Ultimately, we’d like to behave appropriately, like not being too intense which can hurt or by being too easy which may be ineffective. It’s best to begin with ease, and increase intensity over time until we receive  that positive feedback that we are seeking. If we judge and discipline  our children, grandchildren, or others, we judge a reflection of ourselves, therefore we need to discipline ourselves.

Thursday evening 4/13: Do we discipline with love and kindness?

Friday evening 4/14: Are we disciplining appropriately? Are we being too harsh, or are we being too lenient?

Saturday evening 4/15: Are we compassionate and merciful when we judge and discipline?

Sunday evening 4/16: Are we more lenient with discipline when  we’re tired, or hungry? Do we give up on self-discipline when there are  setbacks, or when we are overcome with temptations?

Monday evening 4/17: Are we thankful when we receive constructive criticism and reflect on it, or only thankful when we discipline others? Do we judge anyone unless we are doing so selflessly with no personal bias?

Tuesday evening 4/18: Do we feel that our bond with people is getting stronger when we get criticized, or when we criticize, or do we end the relationship

 3rd week: Compassion and beauty.   

Compassion is feeling empathy to the pain of others. We combine both love and judgment at the same time. We place ourselves in the other person shoes. We are all essentially connected like a tapestry of life. Our compassion should bring our relationships to the next level. When we feel compassion, it gives us power so that we can push ourselves, follow our dreams, and reach our potential.

Thursday evening 4/20: Are we warm compassionate without being judgmental?

Friday evening 4/21: Are we being compassionate appropriately? Are we being overbearing, or are we being limited? Are we addressing someone’s specific needs?

Saturday evening 4/22: Are we compassionate about our compassion, or do we do it because it is the right thing to do?

Sunday evening 4/23: Are we less compassionate when we’re tired, or hungry? Do we stop being compassionate when we don’t see improvement over time?

Monday evening 4/24: Are we humble when we empathize with someone, or do we feel righteous? Are we compassionate in an anonymous fashion, not taking any personal credit?

Tuesday evening 4/25: Do we feel that our bond is getting stronger when we help others, or do we feel that once we are done, our relationship will be over?

4th week: Will-power and perseverance.

Will-power is our drive towards success. When the going gets tough, we get tougher. If we think that we are on the right course, we keep going with passion. We embrace the challenge ahead, knowing that it is in our power to overcome it, not due to our strength, but due to our invisible partner, the universe. While monitoring our situation, if we sense that the universe is pushing us on a different path, we are ready to yield, and change our course. The ability to be flexible is a sign for healthy will-power. We would like to respect any challenge. Perseverance propels us to towards our potential.

Thursday evening 4/27: Do we love challenges? When fighting for something we believe in, is it accomplished in a loving manner?

Friday evening 4/28: Do we know when to push forward, and when to yield and change course? 

Saturday evening 4/29: Are we compassionate about overcoming challenges, or do we just want to survive? Do we listen to someone who usually makes us impatient?

Sunday evening 4/30: Do we give up when we have setbacks, or do we continue and maybe change course? 

Monday evening 5/1: Are we humble after overcoming a challenge, or do we tell everyone around us about our success? Do we think that we did it on our own, or do we acknowledge that we got some help on the way?

Tuesday evening 5/2: Do we feel that our bond is getting stronger when overcoming a challenge together, or do we break up our relationships?

5th week: Humility.

Humility lets us receive wisdom from  anyone. Our power comes from our invisible partner. All we bring to the  partnership is our desire, specifically our desire to keep this  partnership indefinitely. This partnership, will get us to where we need  to be. Being grateful and thankful daily helps increasing our humility.  Humility is necessary to reach our potential.

Thursday evening 5/4: Are we grateful and thankful with love or with envy?

Friday evening 5/5: Are we always being grateful and thankful, or only when people are around us? 

Saturday evening 5/6: Are we grateful and thankful with compassion, or we are just used to it?

Sunday evening 5/7: Do we stop being grateful and thankful when there are setbacks, or do we continue, no matter the situation we are in? 

Monday evening 5/8: Do we think that we are humble, or we are not humble enough? 

Tuesday evening 5/9:  Do we feel that our bond is getting stronger when we are grateful and  thankful, or do we feel inferior and break up our relationships?

6th week: Bonding.

We are social beings, and we need to bond  with each other. Our early bonding, when we were babies, with our  primary caregiver, usually a parent, affected our adult mental health.  The power of a bond, is greater than just the sum of the individuals. We  motivate and encourage each other to reach our potential.

Thursday evening 5/11: Do we bond with love or with envy?

Friday evening 5/12:  Do we judge our relationships when we bond, and know when to break up  our relationships, or do we find ourselves in relationships with people  that hurt us, or take advantage of us? Do we review the discipline in our bonding experiences to see if it needs adjustment? 

Saturday evening 5/13: Do we bond with compassion in person, or we just “bond” on social media?

Sunday evening 5/14: Do we stop bonding when there are setbacks, or do we continue, no matter the situation we are in? 

Monday evening 5/15: Are we humble when we bond, or are we arrogant?

Tuesday evening 5/16: Do we feel that our relationships are getting stronger, or do they fall apart?

7th week: Dignity and respect.

We are social beings, and this week we feel how other people respect us. In the previous six weeks, we were acting based on the theme of the week, with a different aspect each day. This week, we are gauging how we behave, based on how other people treat us. All we need is to be sensitive, and reflect. What we find out this week, will guide us how to improve in the future, and get us closer to our potential.

Thursday evening 5/18: How are we being loved by others?

Friday evening 5/19: How are we being disciplined and judged by others?
