I was busy doing everything for work this weekend that I thought, on my night off I really want to do this relaxation exercise. Well I am here to tell you that it works, and I found that out in front of a good bit of people. I went to the local College Library and hooked my head phones up to the computer. I figured this will be cool, I can listen to a cool relaxation technique I can start using if it works. I would have to say that it worked! I woke up 40 minutes later with my pen across the isle in between desks lol. When I came to I though, wow was that awesome. Then I looked around and some students were giggling so who knows what was going on when I was out. This exercise probably would not have done this so easily if it were not for working a football game in 8 inches of snow Saturday! talk about taking a lot out of you. All in all I felt the technique used was very useful when I went back and listened again. This is definitely some I would like to incorporate into my wide range of relaxation tools. I am wondering if anyone else feel asleep. If so and you are reading this shoot me a comment. For my reflective statement for the week I would like to use a quote I have enjoyed for some time. "Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending." - Carl Brand
To me this touches many parts of my life. Sometimes I want to have regrets, or think how I wish I could go back and do something over. Then I read this, or think it and i get a motivation to stay on the path I am on and not look back until I have created my dreamt upon ending.
Hi JRE,
ReplyDeleteYou must have been very tired. I got really relaxed from listening to the relaxation technique. I could have gone to sleep after. I couldn't get into the part where we were to think of the colors and the parts of the body. That was a bit difficult to envision for me. But all and all is wasn't bad and I would definitely listen to it again.
My goals that we were to list and try to implement are to exercise, to meditate and do relaxation exercises, and to think positive thoughts when negative ones try to enter my mind. Also to be more confident.
I enjoyed reading your post!
