1. Ok, this week’s post is not going to be as enlightening as many of my others. I am having a very difficult time with any of these relaxation exercises. Between the monotony of my house and the endless struggle to find some kind of time and peace for me my brain feels like it’s going to explode this week. I have tried these things for the last few weeks. The first one was awesome, the second one was not so awesome, and this one (well, was continuously interrupted by screaming children and my loving husband). This week’s exercise would have been much better and enlightening if I didn’t have to pause it every five stinking minutes! Sorry for the negativity. However, I do feel better now that I have gotten that off of my chest! Did anyone else get to actually partake in the activity fully? Did you like it? Moving on to portion number two (with my foul mood-right behind me). The concept of a mental workout is – living in my house…just kidding – well kind-of. The concepts of mental workouts are to enable you to strengthen and maintain a level of mental fitness that is contusive to everyday living. This can be done through almost anything. If I could have 10 minutes to myself in my house I would choose meditation for a minimum of 15 minutes a day. This could help ensure that by the time I earn this degree I will not have already lost my mind!
hello i no what you mean i go through it sometime with my kids when im trying get my work done and they be all over the place.Its just that we need to put a schedule together and try follow that will allow that free time to get what you need done and peacful so you want get upsset and angry and brain feels lik it gone make your head explode.I did the exercise but was not into it the whole time my focus was not there it started off ok but lost me after about five minutes.Im sure if i keep doing it i can stay focus and get what is intended to get out of it.Meditation is a good mental workout it gives you peace of mid and relieves stress.
ReplyDeleteI am still really having a difficult time with the relaxation methods. This week we are supposed to compare and contract love-kindness and subtle mind. I guess I am just not that in touch with the "inner" me. I am attempting to be open to suggestion, but with my sense of humor its hard for me to do. When I am not frustrated with them, I find myself chuckling at them. I guess its just my personality, but I promise that I am really trying. How are you relating to the sessions. Are you doing them as you should? Or not so much?
