I had to go through this exercise a few times. The first time I couldn't really get into it. The second it was a little easier, but I didn't feel it was that beneficial. I might recommend it if I feel a little more comfortable with it. I think I would have to try it a few more times to make up my mind about it though. I couldn't get meditation right away either, until I did the rainbow med.
To me the concept of the mental workout is to evolve and use each level of consciousness to achieve total psychological wellness and health. It's the power of positive thinking and mental imagery to obtain a certain calmness in your life. Research show that it can reduce negative emotions and feelings, and enhance positive ones like happiness, acceptance, and patience (Dacher, 2006). I think it has possibilities for me right now, and how it could fit into my life. I know what the concept is and how it should work but I'm not quite there yet. I would like to explore it further before defining how it will work for me personally. Positive thinking is great, but this exercise I'm still not sure about.

It is like physical exercise. It takes practice and repetition to make it a habit. I too struggle with the meditations. I find I go through them, write my blog and then want to move on. I guess that is why they call it mental WORKOUT.
ReplyDeletePositive thinking is a start.
For some reason, the rainbow method was best for me as well. This week's exercise was too intense for me. Mental workouts seem to be a lot like ohysical ones. They are a bit hard to get into, but you are glad you did it. Keep it up and you will find your niche in meditation. For me, silence and prayer is best. I think I need some soon... Thanks for sharing.
