The Loving Kindness was a relaxing experience; even thought I was interrupted a couple times by my kids. But it reminded me that the deepest love I have ever felt has been for them; followed by other family members. I realized that since I feel more happiness and satisfaction when I give love, kindness and attention to my love ones and others; I have easily put myself aside. This exercise also reminded of my mother always telling us to be nice to others and to treat them as we wanted them to treat us. She also said whatever you do will come back to you. I am glad I did, now I just have to work on leaving some love for myself.
I think the best way to explain the mental workout is to think of it as a workout where our mind stretches and tones and as a result it is relaxed and ready to focus and work to its highest potential. Mental workout should be practiced as part of a daily routine; I know I ought to do this kind of exercises to help my psychological and spiritual health; it can really help me to beat the mental stress of my daily routine. In addition, to be a stress relief, it will also reflect in my environment at home and work making them more pleasant.
