Hi
 I do not have much to say about this mental fitness other than it was great. This Subtle practice was so much easier for me and I liked it much more. My son started to do it with me but he left to go take care of Sha so I could finish. What I experienced was a blank mind. I had no thoughts or images in my mind. For me this is very relaxing and reminds of me when I see my massage therapist. I couldn't have asked for a better relaxation at the end of my night.

To find spiritual wellness you have found the key to your wholeness. We all need to find our spiritual wellness and once that is found the mental and physical will fall into place. We can be physical fit all we want but if the mental and spiritual isn't there whats the point? The sooner we can teach this to our children the happier they will be and maybe will make for a better world with less crime. 

Hi Everyone,

This heat is killing me, we need rain so bad. I can't remember when it rained last here maybe may.

Well in unit 4 I did not like our exercise. It honestly did not do a thing for me. I sat in my recliner with my kitty, tho I felt the stress reduce that was it. I have a hard time expressing my feelings and I never talk about them. When I was growing up feeling were never part of our everyday life. I can't remember my parents saying that they loved us or say it to each other. My son has all my love and I make sure he knows it and I tell him all the time. I think that I am not in the right state of mind yet for this exercise. I know that I will try it again when I think I am more mentally ready. I would tell people about it, but not everything works for everyone.

Mental workout to me means exercising the mind to stay healthy. Dacher says that it means utilizing contemplative  practices to help tame the mind's constant mental activities, train it along with opening one's heart, expanding consciousness and progressing towards psychospiritual flourishing. Research  indicates that the proven benefits of mental workout results in awareness and experiences of the mind and its many levels and capacities in healing and the development of the qualities of human flourishing which are health, happiness and wholeness.

Hello,

What a nice weekend. We watched some fireworks are Friday and just relaxed the rest of the weekend. For our post this week I would put my physical wellbeing at a 7 because I am active but not active enough, I don't eat enough; my spiritual wellbeing at a 5 because I am not connected with myself and my psychological wellbeing at a 3 because I am always messed up in the head with stress and depression. I have been fighting depression for the last 10 years. A goal for my physical wellbeing is to eat 3 times a day. I usually only it once or twice; goal for my spiritual wellbeing is to find myself and connect with myself, need to become one with myself and a goal for my psychological wellbeing is to find someone I can open up to and help me find the root to my issues in life. I plan on walking to help with the physical and that shouldn't be hard since we have a new puppy, who will need walking; I will try some meditation to find myself in the spiritual world and find some stress reliefs like deep breathing to clear my mind from things that are bothering and learning to let go. I found that the Crime of the Century was awesome. I got so relaxed that I actually started to doze off. Every time that we get to listen to relaxation talking it works on me. I become so relaxed and my mind clears for the next few hours. It is so nice. I need to listen to them more often. I hope everyone found it as awesome as I did.

Hi Everyone,

I found the relaxation to be great, specially after my day and weekend. My weekend was nonstop and today we went to the Dells for fathers day. Which was a lot of fun but I got hurt because of some kids so listening to the relaxation was a great stress relief in the AC. When I was listening to it, it took be to a whole different place where I forgot about my bruises and sunburn. I could just feel the stress leave my body, what a great feeling. I was in such a relaxed and good mood for the rest of the night. Thank you so much for having us listen to it. I hope everyone else had a good experience with it also.

Hi everyone,

Hope things are going well for everyone. Had a nice weekend. Went and took my guy to get his fathers day gift, we both got tattoos. On sunday we took the the kiddos to the lake and had a cookout with friends.

Today was not as good as I wish it would have been. I was hoping Shannon was going to be coming home, but no isn't happening. My evening was a very sad evening. His actions has caused me lots of stress and pain. At times I do wonder if it is worth it and if I will ever love him. I hope he has learned that his actions affect more than just him, they affect me, my son and his daughter. Now he might lose his daughter that he fought very hard to get 50/50 custody. In the end everything works out for a reason.

Hope everyone had a good term.

The weekend was not a good weekend. Spent the whole weekend by myself, so I was bored. Today was a great day! I started my day off with seeing Shannon, then my son and I went out to lunch at TGIF in Madison, after lunch we went to the movies. On the way home got a call from Shannon's sister and she was going to be getting Shannon's daughter so we met them at the park for a few hours. Now home and just chilling for the night. Waiting for WWE Raw to come on. One of Colton's favorite shows. I will never understand that show, it's so fake but they have more fans then any other sport. Hope this week is a good week for Colton in school. So far the first three days were good and he likes his teacher this year. :) Have a good week everyone.
