I was unfortunately frustrated with exercise #3 CD. The static started early, about 2 minutes after Dr Dacher started talking but lasted for only and second. Then another static came on again 5 minutes after listening to the exercises and it just kept on going that I had to turned it off. So basically, that was frustrating.
I went back to listen to the previous exercises, and surprisingly, I felt a little relaxation, and improvement from last week when i listened to it. All I heard last week was the sound of the waves that the effect was not pleasant, but this time, it had a better effect. I did not just heard the sound of the waves but was able to relax for a minute because the static came on, so, I had to turn off the CD again.
Spiritual wellness focuses on a person's spiritual beliefs, values and whatever purpose she had set in her life. Physical wellness on the other hand focuses on a person's physical health and fitness. There is a big connection between them because without the other, I believe that a person will not achieve the fullness of health and wellness.
I have to believe in something to go on and I chose to believe in the Almighty Father. I believe that without him, I am nothing. That no matter what I do, or what I have, I owe it to HIM. HE protects,love, and provides for me and my family and friends. I can do all my physical activities because I am motivated and inspired to live a healthy life. In order for me to reach physical wellness, I have to have mental wellness. And to achieve these, I have to clean my thoughts, be positive in my outlook. Just like what Dr Dacher says, "still the breath, still the mind".I see to it that I meditate as soon as I wake up in the morning, clear my thoughts, pray, and do at least 10-20 minutes of stretching and Pilates. This daily exercise helps me to face whatever challenge that I will have on that day.

Hi Dolly,
ReplyDeleteI thought it was just me. I thought my CD was scratched or something. I didn't realize it was part of the exercise. It was extremely annoying and it was very, very hard to focus. I don't understand how anyone could think that that was relaxing in any way. I was disappointed with the exercise.
I think it is very important that we all take some time out for ourselves everyday to straighten out our thoughts. Like you pray and meditate, I exercise and do a breathing technique. These little tools help us with the daily stresses of life and I think without these, we would go nuts...lol.
Have a Great Day!!!
Hi Michelle,
ReplyDeleteI agree. I was so ready to meditate and was really looking forward to it and the static came on. Well, Mark said we can call and get a new one from Kaplan, I have been planning to do it but I keep on forgetting it.
Breathing exercise is my favorite too. Easy and effective.
Talk to you soon and keep on breathing:).
