Love and Kindness

This week’s exercise started rough. In the beginning of the week, I found it difficult to focus. My husband had a couple of days off and he wanted my attention. Later in the week, I found a groove. I listened to the recording when I woke up in the mornings and it shaped the rest of my day. I was happy.  Was it difficult? At first it was. I really do not like the male voice that is used in the recording. However, once I was able to overlook that, it became less distracting. I would recommend this to others, only requesting that they give it a fair chance. Maybe a week or two and if they do not feel different then at least they tried it.
Metal workouts are very similar to physical workouts. In order for your body and mind to get in a routine, you must train it to do so. This requires you to start small so you do not hurt yourself or in the case of the mind, burnout. Then as you began to get in a groove, you add on to the regiment. In the case of the mind, because of its ability to heal, the more better you are at focusing and training, the better your position is to affect your health.

  1. Isn't it amazing how something so simple can completely change your day. I will be honest that this week has been tough. While your husband had time off mine worked more hours. I have to say I struggled to get my work completed or even meditate. Last week I did great, this week I feel like everything has been last minute. I am so glad that you are able to benefit from these exercises.

    1. You know, Amanda, I am finding that the more we do these exercises the better I feel. At first, they were not clicking at all. This week was different. Maybe I am on my way to controlling my mind. I know that I am getting a head of myself a bit, but I am excited. I hope that next week will be a better week for you. Here is some positive vibes your way!
