The exercises that I enjoyed the most were loving-kindness, meditation and visualization. The loving kindness exercise helps me in so many ways. I realized that because of all the stress I have been under, I have become a very bitter person. I may not say this to people face to face but my mind is constantly saying sarcastic remarks to co-workers, family member and friends. At first I didn’t know why I was doing it but then I realized how unhappy I was becoming. I get mad at people for not reason at all. The loving kindness exercise helps me change that negative vibe into a more positive way of thinking. I guess I was blaming everybody for my stress when I am the one in charge of what I do. I am not fully there yet but I am working on it. The other exercise that I enjoyed was meditation and visualization. I knew already that I am a visual person and this seems easier for me to do. I remember many things by visualizing my actions. I am not very good a meditation because is very difficult for me to control the voice inside of me. It seems like it talks louder than any other voice, overpowering anything else. I have to learn how to control that but I love visualizing, it is a clearer picture in my mind when I visualize something positive so this exercise was more beneficial to me.
