The most beneficial practice for me has been the subtle mind
exercise. It eases my mind and lifts the
negativity from my body. It leads you on
a journey of forgiveness even when you didn’t realize you needed it. It has helped break the walls down to lead to
a life of positive feelings and forgiveness.
I took each person who I felt negativity toward and wrote
those negative feelings on a piece of paper.
I didn’t mix them onto one piece of paper. I felt they all needed their own separate
sheet to rid myself of the negativity just for that person. After I felt I was done with all the
negativity of each person, I held a burning party. It was very therapeutic and refreshing. I could feel the negativity wash away and
recommend this for anyone who needs to lighten their mind, body and spirit. Getting rid of these negative events allow for
mental fitness to occur without any blocks.
The second beneficial practice for me is meditation. I have many I use now for different moments
in my life. The soothing words and music
allow me to get into a better frame of mind so I can handle anything that comes
my way. Meditation doesn’t have to be a
long session to get you in a better mood or state of mind. I have a couple 5 minute meditations that
bring my mental state back to a calmer time with more focus. Great mental
fitness can be achieved using meditation.
I love to visualize myself on a relaxing vacation listening to the sound
of the water, feeling the cool breeze and warming sun all at the same
time. It brings me peace and
serenity. My mind is very open and
carefree after a mental vacation.
I use both of these practices on a regular basis. I feel my mental state can use all the
fitness it can get so why not incorporate more than one technique. As I learn more techniques that improve my
mental fitness, I add them to my daily routine.
The more the merrier.

ReplyDeleteThis techniques sounds great. I have trouble letting go of the anger. I don;t like it but part of me holds on tight. I think I feel vulnerable and used if I let it go. The initial anger turns into negativity then morphs into a foul mood then depression. Once in this hole I have trouble climbing out. I shall try your technique and see if I can leave the negativity out of my path. K
Hey Stacy,
ReplyDeleteYour tip for getting rid of the negativity within your life is definitely one I will have to remember. Although, other peoples negativitey tends not to bother me as much as my own does...any tips for self-defeating behaviors?? I didn't mention meditation within my blog this week. However, after reading your blog..when I am exercising (possibly called moving meditation?not sure?) I meditate on a specific thing (my children and I splashing in the water while the sunsets) envisioning positivity helps make the time go by and I am better able to focus on the positive of exercising.
Best wishes!
