I discovered that that I am trying to accomplish many goals at the same time. This does not allow me to fully complete one because I’m focusing on many things. The area that I decided to focus on for growth is my education and career. I want to finish school and get my degree. Once I accomplish this I will gain a sense of accomplishment in my life and will be able to help other people live happier lives. Some exercises that I can implement for myself are planning my days out and having a set schedule. Not allowing distractions to get me of course like they did in the past. Bright side is that I should be done at the end of this year. Yeah! I can see the light Lol.

I did the Loving Kindness again. This time at night before going to sleep. I was able to concentrate and focus. I do recommended, it works. I guess I’m more relax at night, because I’m done with everything that when on throughout the day. The subtle mind exercise was more complex for me. My mind kept hearing the mental chatter. I would focus on my breathing and once the audio stopped talking and I heard the waves. My mind started thinking about random stuff. It was constant battle of going back and forth. The Loving Kindness was easier because it tells you what to think and do. While the subtle mind focuses more on the breathing and there is less talking. So I really have to focus here.

We all have spiritual, mental, and physical wellness. They all interconnect with each other. When I am mentally devastated like stress or too many problems. My spirituality and physical well ness also go down. I get sick and don’t want to be around anybody. When I’m working out, I feel stronger and my physical wellness increase. So my mental and spirituality also increase. I can take any challenge that the world throws at me. I feel motivated and happy to start a new day.

I found this experience difficult. I couldn’t concentrate. Maybe because it’s chilly this morning or I’m just not a morning person. I did clear my mind for a few minutes, but not completely. Im going to try it later tonight again. To see if I get a better experience, before recommending it or not. I know what it was I haven’t had a cup of coffee LOL. Research indicates that with mental training we can change our negative emotions into positive ones. I can implement this by practicing. When something stresses me. I can look in the bright side of things, to get a positive reaction. This will help shift my negative emotions into positive ones.

Based on my reflections I would rate my physical well-being a 10. I’m pretty healthy. I’m not that spiritual when it comes to religion, but do believe in doing well to the world. I would say an 8. Psychological I’m unstable LOL. I will give myself a 5. I am improving in this category little by little. My goal will be to work more on psychologically. Pay more attention to my emotions and why I feel the way I do. Talking and socializing with family and friends help. I will give myself more time to talk to the few personal friends that I have. With my busy schedule and not making time for others I haven’t establish that many relationships with people. I kind of push people away when they get too close. It’s an issue I’m working on right now. The relaxation technique was ok. I passed out when listening to it. I didn’t complete it.
