I am very new to this but this already seems like a fun experience. This week’s relaxation assignment was very relaxing. After a weekend of putting together a family gathering I was very overwhelmed. After cooking, cleaning, mingling with everyone I was extremely tired. Today I listened to the relaxation assignment. The guy’s voice was calm, the music was soft and relaxing, and he showed me a new way to make any part of my body relax. When I first started I didn't think this would work but after doing so I realized it worked. This was fun and I look forward to doing more exercises like this.

Yolanda, I was skeptical at first as well. I was surprised when I had the thought and it happened! I am very excited and look forward to doing more exercises as well!
ReplyDeleteHi Yolanda,
ReplyDeleteI am glad you liked this relaxation opportunity! It sounded like you needed it after your busy weekend. I find the different relaxation techniques work for me better when I don't think I need to slow down rather than when I am already stressed and really need to slow down. That probably doesn't make sense, lol, but I think when I am already stressed I so desperately want to feel better quickly that I expect too much from the exercise and end up giving up. I certainly see the value in these relaxation techniques and look forward to trying more. Take Care!
Jennifer, it makes sense!! This course is extemely fun for me at the moment. I look forward to doing more exercises like this one.
ReplyDeleteJoni, I was shocked as well. I was thinking "this is not going to work." Imagine my surprise when it did.
ReplyDeleteI too did not realize what an amazing difference this exercise would make. His voice and the music I agree were very relaxing. I can't wait to try more of these techniques. I wanted to share it with the world when I was done. I had to call my parents when I was done with the exercise to share what I had just experienced. After a long day at work and doing homework, that was just what I needed.
ReplyDeleteHello Yolanda,
ReplyDeleteI have three daughters too! My job had a workshop once and we did a technique like this, it was amazing. I didn't realize how easy it was to relax the entire body. I've planned many family events and I know how stressing that is, do you have a big family? I do. Although even a small event takes a lot of planning. Good Luck to you in this course.
Mary.
