Favorite Mental Workouts
I enjoyed the "Journey On" relaxation exercise from Unit 2 and the Subtle Mind exercise the most. After finishing the "Journey On" exercise I felt very rejuvenated. This would be a great exercise to do first thing in the morning before going to the gym. I think doing this exercise first thing may even improve my strength training routines. The Subtle Mind exercise was also one of my favorites because of how relaxed but energized I felt when I was done. I think this practice would best fit into my life either after my gym workout or those days where I just feel the need for an escape and what to get lost in my own presence. I really appreciate all of the exercise we have done in this class, as I have learned a great deal about myself and life from them.

Janelle,
ReplyDeleteVery nice blog, and I wanted to comment on something that you said, "..as I have learned a great deal about myself and life from them [the exercises].." That is so exactly what we are supposed to do with the information in this course. It has long been my wish that more folks would get involved with things like this and incorporate concepts like these into their lives. I am glad to hear that you are making changes in your life for the better, and all from stuff you learned in a class. That's awesome. Cheers!
Janelle,
ReplyDeleteNice post! I would second Cbris's comment regarding how this has impacted your life. This is what we are supposed to get out of these classes. I don't know that I have gotten what I should have out of them but I have learned that I need to start working towards integral health. I really enjoyed the loving kindness exercise so I am going to continue to use that one but I also found that there are few apps that I can download on my phone and ipad so I am going to continue to experiment with different exercises until I find the one that really is transformative.
Thanks again for sharing!
