Loving-Kindness

Hello Everyone,

After practicing the loving-kindness exercise I came to reaalize that it was very beneficial. I say this because it allow me to come to peace with others and find peace for them which in turn created peace for my self. Sending out health and joy for my loved ones as well as for those that I was not aware created happiness inside of my self because I was not just bombarded for the first time with my thoughts and my personnal feelings. Instead I was thinking of others and in a sense sending positive vibes their way. Definitely I would recommend this exercise for others because it creates a sense of clarity which then provides happiness and loving-kindness for others.

A mental workout is allowing your mind to fully focus on particular topics or ideas such as health, happiness, or even school subjects or stress and honing in on a particular one and allowing your brain to have structural change which would be beneficial for you. Amental workout can transform the mind by taking out the negative and replacing it with positive. Having a positive outlook for yourself is very beneficial in the end for your overall health which is great .

Wishing everyone a great week and a great rest of the semester. Hope you all are watching the Olympics because they are truly amazing! Enjoy!!!

Thanks,

Shana Rodriguez

Unit 3 My Overall Wellness

Hello Everyone,

Well if I had rate my optimal wellbeing I would say that my physical wellbeing is at a 7.5 because lately I have not been working out since I have been visiting with my twin sister. As for my spiritual wellbeing it would be at a 8 because I have a high sense of faith and I attend church and I try to spiritually stay connected in all aspects. My psychological wellbeing would be low at a 6 because I keep eveything inside of me that bothers me. I do not really release how I feel with others and I try to keep to my self because then I dont have to worry about others and what they think sometimes.

A goal that I would set for my self for each of these areas are to get back to working out on  adaily basis, and to open up more to the people that care for me on a daily basis. Also by doing this I will allow myself to relieve stress and to be balanced. To reach these goals I will continue to do yoga as well as go running. Also I will speak to others more often and stop keeping my feelings in and release them positively.  By doing this I will ultimately allow myself to be at peace and allow myself to create balance that will be positively beneficial for myself.

My reflection on the journey on relaxation exercise

After listening to the Journey on relaxation exercise it actually made me feel at ease. I totally focused and did exactly as it asked and it relaxed me and ultimately made me fall asleep. Now I do not know if I was supposed to fall asleep from this exercise but lets just say I was extremely tired from a 7:50am tee time at the golf course today. The exercise was rather insightful and it allowed me to focus on my breathing and it also enabled me to clear my mind and just breathe easy and calmy. Overall I enjoyed the exercise but I did have to do it twice since I fell asleep on the first shot of trying it.
