Unit 8 Blog

Upon reviewing the exercises we have completed, I have found the meditation and visualization to be the most helpful and beneficial for my mind. I tend to have a very busy, scattered "monkey" mind that always has too many things going on at once. When I practice meditation I am able to quiet my mind if only for a few moments. However, I find that I am calmer throughout the day when I continue to meditate on a daily basis. Just like any other skill it has to be practiced. I also find that when I use visualization I am able to replace negative thoughts in my mind and plug in happy thoughts that help me restructure the way my mind is working. It really helps me to be a more positive person.
