This weeks exercise with the love and kindness was very difficult. I had difficulty focusing on the woman's voice and found the background noise used to be more of a distraction than the other exercises that were conducted. As others had noted, it was very nice taking time to think of others and send them positivity and love, especially to those in Boston at this time; to those families and EMS workers, I couldn't give my prayers fast enough it seemed. I'm more of a spiritual person rather than meditating, so sitting in church or a nice quiet place reflecting on the good and bad of the world and giving praise to those who are good and helping is more beneficial for me.
Mental workouts are taking time to literally exercise the brain. Frequently on random infomercials, there are constant ads for games or exercises to give the mind a break and to focus on something different. It is beneficial to take a break from focusing too long on something and giving the mind something new to focus on; many mini-mental games are simple, but can make the mind work in a different method giving relaxation and refreshed focus to the other task at hand.
