Meeting of the Minds (MOM)

The Meeting of the Mind Entry
This assignment is a mindfulness practice that invites you to relate more directly to the professional responsibility dilemmas faced by Pedro and Mindy.

After reading a vignette, place yourself in the position of the protagonist, e.g., for Class Two it is Pedro. Imagine how you might experience the same events, were they happening to you and you reacted as Pedro/Mindy did. (For this exercise, allow for the possibility you might act the same).

Write a short passage, akin to a diary entry—in the first person--that focuses on the portion of the vignette that was most disconcerting to you.

Be especially attentive to identifying to the various thoughts, feelings, and body sensations arising as you experienced what you experienced and made the decisions you did.

Your entry should be about a page in length, double spaced.

Note: Assume the reader knows what happened so you need only include only that factual content which you feel provides a foundation to explain/understand your actions and observations.
