Unit 8 Review

My days usually start around 7am when my daughter wakes me up. I have attempted to start my mornings with the subtle mind exercise. I have really enjoyed this exercise and find it to be quite beneficial. I feel as though it lets me pull myself together and to focus on what I have in front of me for the day, usually school and work.

At night before bed, I run on my treadmill which gets my heart pumping. Then I follow this with a shower and the loving kindness exercise. I like this one because between exercising and releasing all of my negative feelings, it becomes much easier to sleep at night. I feel calm, relaxed, and at peace. It is a great way to end my day. I have had issues with sleep since I was a teen; meditation has been an amazing tool in lessening/eliminating this issue. 

I would like to continue with my meditation exercises and I work on my physical and mental health. They are equally important with the end result that I hope to achieve. Continuing these exercises will keep me where I want to be. The exercises allow me to take my health to an area I did not even know was possible before this class.
