The loving Kindness exercise allowed me to see how much anger I actually have in my heart. As I read on I seemed to get angrier and angrier. Someone I really loved shattered my heart and never apologized and that makes it hard for me to let love in I guess. I do have my day when I can share the happiness of love but then I have my days when I’m very angry, crying, and upset at the persons’ that caused me pain. A lot of people have told me to get over it but that’s easy for them to say because it’s not their life or situation.
Besides how can a person get over something when it’s always thrown in their face; its almost like, when the womb begins to heal they are right there to snatch the scab right off before it fully heals; and then in the same sentence says get over it. So my loving-kindness factor is a little rusty I think. I never said that I don’t be nice to the perpetrators even though they shattered my heart because I do, what’s that old saying kill them with kindness? Yea trying that too but that even gets difficult when they say something hurting again (snatching off the healing scab). I know it might sound like I’m very bitter that’s not the case I’m just extremely hurt by their actions especially hurt because they seem to feel like they did nothing wrong.
1. Describe your experience. (Did you find it beneficial? Difficult?) Why or Why not? Would you recommend this to others? Why or Why not?
My experience with this exercise was quite difficult for me because I seem to need more to help me heal. I really would recommend this to someone else it probably would help them tremendously.
2. What is the concept of “Mental Workout? What does the research indicate are the proven benefits of a Mental Work Out? How can you implement mental workouts to foster your psychological health?
The concept of the mental workout is to work at something daily until you get the results you want. The proven benefits of a mental workout are the shown results. To implement my mental workouts I would have to focus on the positive and not the negative; and practice listening to the relaxation exercises. I believe if I play the relaxation exercises over and over again it will sink in and help my healing process.
