As you can see, I chose to name my blog stressfanatic. The reason behind this is that for as long as I can remember, I have always been the stressful type-A personality. I do everything to the max... 4.0 GPA, my house is spotless, I keep several to do lists, you name it. This has gotten me very far in life however, I need to change my ways. I am hoping this class will help give me a few ideas of how to start. I know stress is a bad thing to do daily but how do we stop this vicious cycle?
My reflection upon Journey
On meditation activity: I found this technique very helpful for beginners
meditation. In yoga to get one body part to really relax, our yogi always says
" think about yourself as an ice cube melting into the floor" and
believe it or not, that image really helps me relax and quit thinking. Meditation
is so unique and hard to accomplish for many. For me, it is unbelievable how
hard it is to 'clear my mind' when I actually try to. I have found that yoga
helps because I'm so exhausted and relaxed by the end when we meditate I can
really get out of my head. I would love to learn how to meditate at night because
I believe it would help me sleep much better.
