Unit 4 Blog


The loving kindness exercise once again was a very relaxing activity for me.  It made me feel with inner peace, and it helped me to get aware of how much I love myself.  For me it was very beneficial because I am going through a hard emotional situation, and this exercise helped me to get more mind clarity and focus.  It helped me to feel love for others as well.  I would definitely recommend this exercise to anybody, especially to those that need to relax or need inner peace.  People with low self-esteem can take advantage of this exercise, and it will help them too. 

On the other hand, our mind as any muscle in the body, if we want it to grow needs to be trained as well.  Therefore, to evolve our psychospiritual life and access to our capacities and resources we need daily mental workout (Dacher, 2006).  “Research studies have demonstrated that mental training help to transform emotions that cause anger, hatred, fear, worry confusion, and doubt while enhancing positive emotions such as patience, loving-kindness, happiness, etc.  To improve my psychological health, I can start practicing 5 to 15 minutes daily until I get comfortable and increase the time.  One of these practices can be loving-kindness (Dacher, 2006).
