It is always hard to find time to relax and experience these exercises that are given to us in our class. However this exercise was the best so far. The narrators voice was soothing and the sounds of waves made the experience better. When I am often left to just my thoughts and they seem to wonder out of control. I have everything from what I am going to do when this is done to how much I don't truly appreciate my family. It is going to be a long journey but the loving kindness practice is another V8 juice to the head to remind me to stop sweating the small stuff. Instead just focus on loving yourself and others in your life that mean the world to you.
The mental workout is the same as working out your body to look and feel great. You have to put the effort into it, commit everyday to take the time need to accomplish your goals. This workout I believe will have more benefit to our health than just working out muscles.
It looks like we are very alike in that we find it difficult to find time to relax. In fact I can’t ever do it and this exercise proved to me just how hard it is. I enjoyed the exercise and the soothing voice of the narrator but after a bit I just got bored. When that happens I just start thinking of other things like working out or what I will do tomorrow. You mention that your mind wonders to other thoughts too so I guess I’m not the only one with that issue. The mental workout is surely like the physical workout but if that’s the case then why can’t I do it well. I can go to the gym everyday but the mental workouts for me just aren’t there yet for some reason. What do you think I should try?
