Subtle Mind Exercise
Wow, that exercise was totally different from the lovingkindness exercise, I don't know if it was me or my computerm but I think it was the CD. But maybe it's points was to distract our thoughts and if that was point it succeed; it took me total over track for a while because I thought the CD was defective and as I went on through the end it was still the same, but I took my focus off the CD and back to my focal point and then I began to calm myself and cleanse my mind in the process. The lovingkindness exercise I think was a better exercise for me to gain a clear mind-set and energy for the day.

Loving-Kindness Unit 4 Exercise
Wow, this would be the perfect exercse for me if I had the time to implment it correctly. Trying to do this exercise started out really nice, I got my mind and body focused on a person that is dear to my heart and brought her close to me, because she is going to have surgery soon and I want to continue to present positive thoughts to guide her through this process and I got a very good vivie from it; but I thought that my husband was asleep and he kept coming in and asking questions or checking to see if I needed any help. He is so helpful, but it was hard telling him that I just needed time to focus on this exercise. But with the hours that work and time for class work is another distraction that keeps me off track from focusing and a timeframe to continue this exercise. But I have to reorganize some things in order for this exercise to true work for me and I have t take control of my health and wellness before I can give advice to anyone else. But overall it seem to be a great exercise to develop a spirit of loving-kindness to ourselves and to one another.
Mental workout: To me mental workout is cleansing the mind totally from all the negativity and unwanted stressors in our life, and if we can do that we will come to the awareness of being mentally free.

A: My physical well-being is at a 7 because I try to implement some form of exercise in my daily routine, even if it is only fifteen or thirty minutes a day; every little bit counts and it keep me focus for the ten hour shift that I work everday while going to school. B: My spiritual well-being is at 10, because I have such a high level of spiritual comment and devotion to God and his word that everyday before I start my day I pray, read my bible versus and thank God for everything that he has help me to overcome and accomplish through out my life. And C: my psychological well-being, I would say is a 8, because I have learn through my courses at Kaplan University how to deal with things that would psychologically would keep me distracted and would even make me doubt what I am trying to accomplish, but I have learned a great deal of strategies that has really help me.

Spiritual: My goal is to continue to pray,meditate on God's words and use them to help me stay focus on the task at hand. Psychological: My goal is to continue to use meditation and relaxation techniques along with prayer to keep my mind clear and free from stress, anxiety and depression.
3. What activities or exercise can you implement in your life to assist in moving toward each goal?
I can use meditation, relaxation techniques, and a exercise plan on a daily basis to assist me toward accomplishing my goals in the areas of physical, spiritual and psychological. I can also implement a healthy diet with exercise to help achieve these goals also.
4. Complete the relaxation exercise The crime of the Century.
This exercise to me was not as affecting like the exercise we did in the previous unit; I started to nodd off and lost focus. I guess I was too tired or it was just not the right exercise for me. But I did as the voice said and I did not get the results like I did in the unit 2 exercise and I was more tired then for that exercise then I was for this one. Well may be next time.

Reflective Statement
Wow, after listening to the journey to relaxation technique, I feel so totally relaxed and full of energy. I drove 480 miles to visit my family for easter and after all the good eating and enjoying family and friends, the drive back I felt so tired and my feet was hurting; but I knew I had to do my class work and I started listening to the tape and doing what was mention like taking off my shoes and putting on loose clothing and just relax my whole body and I thought I was going into a trans or I had to catch myself because I thought I was being hypnotised, and I had to laugh because all the pain I had from the drive was gone and now I am totally free from pain in my head and feet because the blood felt like it was flowing so smoothly through my body. So this technique really helped me and I will use it to relax from all of the stressors in my daily life

Totally Relaxed
Before doing the journey to relaxation technique, I was very tired, I'd just got in from a long trip home to Louisiana for the Easter holiday; and I drove 480 mile tomy hometown and drove back this morning,so i was very tired when I got in but I knew I still had to do my blog exercise, so I listened to the relxation exercise and I feel so wonderful and totally relaxed. Wow I thought I was going to go into a trans or be hypnotised because I was tired, my feet was hurting and I had a slight head ache; but after I listened to it and did as I was told, my body just went into a total relax mode and now I feel like I can run, jog, and even clean the house all in one day. Wow it really relaxed my mind and body. I will start using this technique more often, especially when I get ready to take the Exam. I always stress when I take an Exam; but now I'm ready for it. The journey to relaxation technique really helped me today.
