For me the loving kindness exercise was a bit of a challenge. I have found that I really struggle with relaxing and being able to concentrate in silence. I cannot figure out how to turn my mind off. Its always running a mile a minute. After about half way through the exercise it got a little easier and at the end I did feel a little more relaxed. I think that maybe with some more practice this exercise could be very beneficial to me. I would recommend this to other simply because it is important to relax, myself like a lot of people have a hard time with it.
What is the concept of "mental workout"? What does the research indicate are the proven benefits of a mental workout? How can you implement mental workouts to foster your psychological health?
Mental workouts are important to help keep our minds sharp and functioning at their highest capacity. The brain is just like a muscle in the body, if it does not receive enough exercise it begins to lose its function. Some great mental workouts that anyone can do are meditation or visualizations.
