I thin this is the exercise that I have enjoyed the most. The first time I read the phrases they got my attention, by the third time I had a feeling that what I was saying was actually possible for me to do, like not so far away from my reach.
At the end of the exercise, I realized that I felt very calm, I felt in peace within myself, my loved ones and people around me; even with a couple of individuals I had been upset with. Personally, I had a sense of accomplishment that allow me to forgive and be alert to help.
The Integral Assessment practice allowed me to realize that more than anything else I need to focus more is mental relaxation through meditation; to take a break from my daily routine and enjoy a peaceful moment for my mind only. I think that will allow me to recharge my "batteries" and be able to function better in other areas of my life. Another aspect of my life that needs more attention is my physical body; since I have been unable to exercise, I need to learn about exercises that I can do in order to loose those extra pounds that I have. As soon as I notice a slight weight loss, I know my mind will also feel rewarded and will gain a deeper sense of happiness.
Hi Monica...it is truly a great feeling to give your mind a break on a daily basis, just like we may give our bodies a break. Sometimes we do not realize how much stress we are placing on our brain by the activities we do daily. My son laughs at me sometimes when I tell him I am taking a mind break; he's 14. I tell him he will understand when he getts a little older and in college. Meditation is a great practice to incorporate in our lives. Sometimes I think I can actually will myself to lose weight; I am still working on this concept.
