Its been quite an interesting eight weeks of class so far, and I have for the most part struggled with the different relaxation exercises because of different things going on in my personal life. While reflecting on the past several weeks, there have been some exercises that I have found more helpful and inspiring than others.
I thought that the loving-kindness exercise was a little "hippie" in nature at first, but the more I read over it the more I realized it is about putting the needs and welfare of others first above your own, and not just through wishing but through helping. If everyone did this type of exercise and believed in it, the world might just be a better place. Having an open heart and mind is essential to living a whole and fulfilling life, and truly helping others.
The week long meditation challenge was the other exercise I enjoyed the most. I didn't have to listen to a monotone audio clip for that one, but seemed to get a lot out of it. I was able to find some time each day to meditate, and even found myself making some progress by weeks end. I think this is something I should incorporate into my daily life so that way I can have a better level of mental and spiritual fitness.

See you have gotten two important things out of our exercise this week...first like the sneaker ad says "Just Do It!" and then if you make a point to do it every day you will see the benefits of it.
