This Kindness practice has been very interesting, I think I may have to do it more than just this one time to get the full benefit of it. I really did enjoy and think with practice I will be able to have my full attention and not have any mind wondering. I have so much going on with work, school and home life that for the first minute I could stay focused then I would start thinking about what I needed to do for the week to once again get ready for a work trip. I did feel more relaxed and by the end of the practice I was more focused on what the instructions said to do. I will definitely do this again I really did enjoy it.
I think mental work outs are great and your mind needs a work out as your body does. I think by mentally working out your mind you will be more relaxed and less stressed and once you slow down you can really enjoy the benefits of taking time to enjoy life. I also feel you will be more calm and patient with life which does take practice. Nothing happens in a day so it is something you will have to practice every day or as often as you could.
I know what you men about constantly thinking about what you need to do, a woman's work is never done. I think it is especially important for moms to do these kinds of exercises because we need to keep our minds right for our kids and families. Between work, home, school, and whatever else we have a lot on our plates and having those 15 minutes to ourselves is very important. I always thought if you can't take care of yourself how can you take care of others. Have a great night.
