When this was first assign I didn't see the point of it. I wasn't motivated at all about this assignment but the good part was that it only took a couple of minutes. The only thing that I needed to do was rate my awareness, emotional, physical and mental state from a scale of 1-3; 3 being the highest and 1 being the lowest. It may sound simple and that's exactly what I thought at first but as I did more compasses I began to really get the motive of this project. Thanks to it I learned a lot about my feelings and I also learned how to express them, which was a hard thing for me to do.
While analyzing my compasses I notice a strange pattern. My awareness and my emotions were always close when I was rating them, meaning that every time I felt great in my awareness I also felt great emotionally. That also happened with my physical state and my mental state. Thanks to this I learn something about how my body and emotions work together. This project made me realize that sometimes small things can affect others areas of my body, whether is good or bad. Another thing that I notice was that during all this time my emotional and mental status were pretty low most of the time, meaning that during this entire project I was feeling down and distracted. It is really interesting of how much you can learn about yourself by just analyzing simple things such as a compass.

Like you, I didn't see the point of it, but just like you I learned that there was a point after all.
