Unit 8: Optimal Well-being: Psychological, Spiritual and Physical Keys to Health and Thriving

After reviewing the two exercises that I thought were most beneficial I picked The Loving Kindness exercise and subtle mind exercise. I think these two exercises are very beneficial but not just for me, for anyone. I think if people really tried hard to do these exercises they would see a difference in their everyday life as much as I did. After doing both of these exercises they both were good ones to practice. They both really calm you down and set you refreshed afterward. I would recommend these to anyone. I think if anyone put their mind to doing exercises to help with mental fitness than these two are good ones to do. Anyone can try these and really notice a difference in how it makes you feel. I would say to implement these practices in your personal life you have to try hard to make it a goal every day. Make a calendar of practicing these exercises on a daily for 30 min. If you make it a goal to do it every day then you are fostering that mental fitness and helping you and your body. If a person makes goals and achieves them then you are at least trying and are helping your mind physically, mentally and emotionally. I think at the end you will see how much of a difference it changed your body and yourself in a positive way.

  1. Hello Brittany,

    I really enjoyed reading your blog this week. I also chose Loving Kindness and the subtle mind exercises for my blog this week. I agree with you that the two exercises are very beneficial for everyone. They are so relaxing and it helps me meditate more when I can listen to someone rather than trying to read the meditation instructions. If the visualization exercise had of been recorded and I could have listened to it, I may have chosen that one instead. I agree with you that they are really calming and you feel refreshed after doing the exercises. They are great for “mental fitness” and have already recommended them to friends and family. Great job with your blog this week.
