Unit 5 Post

Hello Professor and Class. I found that the sublte mind exercise was a lot easier for me to do thtn the loving kindness exercise. I felt more in control of the session becuase I could do it without listening to instruction from another voice or audio.

Spiritual wellness, mental and physical wellness are all very connected. It is understoiod that we cannot truly be healthy until we are a complete balance of physical health, mental health and spiritual health.

I personally know that I am lacking in all three areas. I have however just set a goal to become more physically active. I ahave notice over the last year since my stres levels have increased, that my body is actaully suffereing frm aches, pains and a lack of physical alignment. I may even need to see a chiropractor because I am really not doing very well. I want to also look into acupuncture as a way to feel better. Hopefully if I can exerxise, I will be able to relive a lot of the negative feelings and stress.

Unit 4 Relaxation Exercise

Hello Professor and Class. Once again I had difficulty with the relaxation exercise for the week. I was unable to concentrate on the exercise and either found myself thinking about random things that were not a part of the exercise, and I also found myself falling asleep. However, this may be due to the fact once again that I did this at midnight after working a long day. I would recommend this to others to at least try, because each person is different and just because it did not work all that well with me does not mean that it wont work for another person.

Mental workouts can be good because they can help you through the stresses of life that happen on a daily basis. Mental workouts are good for both your mind and body. I think that if we could all fins a Way to have a mental workout that works for us as individuals then we should take advantage and do them when we have the time.
