Just for fun

A Journey of Relaxation

During this first exercise, I listened to a 15 minute relaxation segment.  The main idea was that we could relax simply by suggesting to ourselves that we were relaxed.  By using the power of suggestion to create relaxation, we can help relieve stress, nervousness, or frustration.  The voice guided me through the steps. It was relaxing and I did feel warm although I never felt the heaviness described - just relaxed. Afterwards, I felt calm and refreshed.  Although this type of relaxation exercise may take some practice at first, it can be very beneficial to our well-being.  If we can practice quieting our minds and controlling our thoughts for just 15 minutes a day, we will start to feel more in control of other aspects of our lives.

Hello everyone and welcome to my blog.  As we go through this term I hope to pick up on some new knowledge about wellness of the mind, body, and spirit.  As I share the things I've learned or find helpful, I hope you are able to take away something positive from this experience and apply it to your own lives.
