Ascetic journal final reflection prompt in case you missed it in class:

How did it go? Do you feel like you have learned anything through this process? Do you feel like a better person? Did you purposefully or accidentally give in and indulge in the thing you gave up? Have you had any unique problems or challenges with your ascetism? Did you find your experience similar to Siddhartha’s at all? Was it easy or difficult to give this thing up? How do you feel about the fact that it is over? Were weekends or weekdays more difficult? Lent has started – did you choose to participate and give up something? Do you wish you had given up something else? Would you be able to give this up for three weeks? A month? Six months? A year? Any other thoughts?
