Hey Everyone,
So i'm stressed out because because my blog post is late. I went out of the country for a few days and just got back today. Now i'm playing catch up in both of my classes, which is a lot of stress. So I came into this exercise with a lot of stress, frustration and worry.
I liked the loving-kindness activity. Its good to remind people during hard time, not to always look towards the negative, but to look on the positive side of things as well. It could also probably help someone get through something tough, like a sick family member or a death in the family. I'm sure if that person does this exercise as much as the book tells you you to do so, they will most likely have that closure faster than someone who doesn't do this exercise. I think this exercise would be very beneficial for someone to do.
Listening to the tracks on the CD was very moving and relaxing. I believe the concept of a mental workout is working out the mind and expanding the mind in every way we can. These exercises we have been doing are great exercises for mental workouts. They are not only relaxing, but it helps us expand our mind, think positive thoughts, imagine we are somewhere else and helps us to recognize our negative thoughts and turn them into positive ones. Doing the exercise on the CD was beneficial for me because it made me realize that being late posting this isn't worth all the stress and I need to look to my positive thoughts more often.

ReplyDeleteI totally undersstand about being late. I have been on a roller coaster the last few days myself. You are right, being late is sometimes a part of life. Things happen and sometimes they are out of our control. In loving ourselves we accept that we can not change and move foward and learn from the experience. We can plan better to make things easier for ourselves.
Relax
Jamillah~
