Unit 6 exercise and assessment

I found the loving-kindness exercise hard to repeat for 10 minutes.  I had to do it many times throughout the week before it became easier.  I really enjoyed it though.  I like what the exercise meant and to focus on helping others.  I participate in this almost everyday with my job.  I love helping others with their fitness goals.  I have changed many lives and that is why I wanted to become a personal trainer.  So in a way I practice loving-kindness all of the time.  With the assessment, I need to work on my psycho spiritual aspect of life.  I have been doing this through meditation and it has helped tremendously.  I feel that this has gotten much easier for me the more I do it.  I love how I feel when I am done meditating.  Thanks to the subtle mind exercise we did last time, I have become calmer and can sleep much more soundly.  I really enjoy this class and all that i have learned from it.

  1. I truly admire you and your determination to stay focus on your personal trainer goals. I'm also glad that you are able to get the rest that you truly deserve. I have been there before and I truly do not envy those sleepless nights. I must agree, I truly enjoy the loving-kindness exercise. In the beginning, I did not like meditating, but now I love it and discuss it often in my conversations! Best of luck to you and your future goals!

  2. after reading your post it makes me wish you lived near me. I get so discouraged when trying to do any kind of exercise because of my physical limitations that I often stop them before they are really effective. I still walk every night that it isn't raining but that is more becasue my dog (at 62#) has a way of insisting we go. It really grates on my last nerve some days just how limited my functionint can be but then I remember God has a reason for all of this I just have to wait for Him to show it to me and keep on going.
