Our guided practice/mental workout for the week was not my favorite to date. I have done the exercise four times so far this week (not the recommended twice daily, I know). I think it is the woman's voice that makes me struggle with this exercise more. The male voice I found more relaxing (although I also struggled with those exercises). I will say; however, that I struggled less with this one for my previous reasons. I just found myself continuously focused on her voice and kept thinking I would rather it be a man. Overall, the purpose of the exercise was great, and I would recommend it to others. I truly believe that more people should take the time to be less self-centered and focus more on others and their feelings. This exercise would be a great first step to making that a reality.
Until next time,

I agree that people should focus more on others instead of themselves! This exercise is great for that and really should be used by more individuals! I like that you referenced "If you don't use it you lose it" because it is so true! Just like physical activity, if you don't mentally workout then you are losing those aspects which could be great for your overall health. Great post!
ReplyDeleteHi Erica! I'm with you on the recording. I thought a males voice would've been better. But what bothered even more than that was the water in the background being obviously about a 10 second loop. That annoyed me and the lady would suddenly talk and somewhat startle me. I'd just start to relax a little and then she'd start talking again and my heart would speed up. I thought it was poorly put together. I'd definitely recommend the exercise to others too, just not this recording. It's a wonderful thing to practice.
