Unit 4 Loving Kindness
The loving kindness meditation was very interesting. We do not take time to stop and think about our self. We are so busy taking care of others. I would recommend this to others because I think we need to give time and relaxation to our self. Our life's are to busy and we rarely just stop and enjoy life, such as, just sit and let the early morning sun shine in our faces or listen to a bird singing.
Our mental workout is just letting our mind work out the trash and hectic life . Our work out can help with the psychological health. Hence with mental health in wellness then the body health will be in wellness. We do have to stop and let our mind clear and think upon good things.
Hi Mary,
ReplyDeleteI agree with you, most of the times we are too busy trying to take care of people around us that we forget to focus on our personal wellbeing. For me, the process of loving –kindness has to start from inside out. We cannot give what we don’t have for ourselves. Start to exercise our minds towards that goal will help us to reach a nice approach of wholeness and happiness. This class is so far the best option to take for our mental health to another level. =)

Mary, I definitely agree with you. It's very true that we get so caught up in taking care of others that it's so easy to forget about taking care of ourselves. In my case, I don't take care of myself as much as I should because I'm so busy making my husband and daughter happy. Unfortunately, this is how I've gained so much weight since my husband and I were dating. His poor eating habits rubbed off on me and being a mother just doesn't give me the time that I used to have for exercising. I used to be able to go out and exercise whenever I wanted. Now, however, I have to keep the weather and stuff in mind before I can take my baby with me.
