Loving kindness... I could do this again.

I have to admit that once again I struggled with this weeks exercise, the Loving Kindness meditation. It was not the exercise that caused me trouble, just everything else going on in my life. I wish I had a pause button for everything else that is going on so that I can focus on one thing at a time. I really enjoyed the meditation when I finally got a chance to really try it. The sound effects in the background were very soothing and helped with the exercise. I would definitely recommend this exercise to others; besides who couldn't use  a
little loving kindness in their lives.
One of this weeks questions is "What is the concept of a mental workout?". The concept of a mental workout is to take time each day, just as one would for another exercise, to focus on the inner mind. A mental workout is a time to let go of the stresses of everyday life, to sit with a quiet mind  and focus on the workings of the inner mind. Research indicates that the benefits of a Mental Workout are improved health, control of emotions,  and reduced stress levels. I can use Mental workouts in my day to day life to help me improve my health and wellness. I could definitely use it to help me cope with stress.
