This week was a rough one for me as far as keeping things planned and organized. A week ago I had some oral surgery and had more issues with it than I thought I would so I have to apologize for falling behind in my blogging. I can say I much preferred the Loving Kindness Exercise we did last week over the Subtle Mind. I do plan to do this exercise again when life is not so overwhelming and see if I can benefit from it, I think this week I was just not mentally able to get into the exercise.
One example I can give that relates to mental and physical wellness would be from my experiences this week. While at the dentist there was a point where I was not quite numb enough but they had begun work and I was feeling pain so I just closed my eyes and started thinking in my head a song that always helps me to feel relaxed and I was amazed at the physically relief I received as I let my body release the tension that I was feeling from the pain of the procedure. My dentist even made a comment about noticing my body seem to relax and be less postured. I am thankful that what I have learned through this class so far was able to help me through a difficult time this week. I am looking forward to a less strained week now that i am on the healing road!
Until next time <3

ReplyDeleteHope you are feeling better this week, Amy. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I also struggle with taking time in the moment to calm down. That is great that you were able to calm down the mental chatter in your head by thinking of a relaxing song before your dental treatment.
