Review the exercises and practice sessions you have completed in this course. (Loving Kindness, Subtle mind, Visualization, meditation etc.) Choose two practices that you have determined to be most beneficial. How can you implement these practices in your personal life to foster “mental fitness”? Provide specific examples.
Mental Imagery- I have not been consistent with doing the 30 minutes daily, but I do find visualization or mental imagery to be effective for myself, to relieve stress and tension, or just to give me a boost for the day to come. Mental imagery comes very easy for me, that’s all you need is a relaxing place, to put peace to my mind and body. Allowing my mind to totally fill with the happiness of a memorable moment (the walks along the beach, the peace of sitting on a bed of soft grass with the trees surrounding me, the sound of the wind and how it touches my body), it becomes every essence of my being.
Meditation- The stillness and silence and how the outer world just is “still”, and my mind becomes very calm. Through this process I’m able to look at my life in a different way, things that seemed so overwhelming, seem to affect me less, I learn I can’t always take care of everyone else, first I take care of myself.
