relaxation is good...


Hello lovely classmates. Thanks for coming to my blog. I hope to give insightful information and share what I have learned throughout this term and my life. I am super excited about this course and look forward to reading y'alls words as well.

I love little relaxation audios and experiencing new techniques on how to relax. Who doesn't? It was pretty late when I decided to do mine. I thought it would be a good idea to do right before I went to sleep. So I brought my laptop in our bedroom and was super comfy (like it said) in my bed. All I had in mind was that this was going to be nice and relaxing and help me fall asleep faster.

The Journey On relaxation exercise was one I had never done before. It was nice. (My husband however fell asleep twice during it...so I guess it really worked for him) ;) I made an effort to really focus on the exercise and visualize my blood circulating in the specified areas. I did feel relaxed, warm, and heavy.

Then at the end, he started talking about how energized you are and how full of energy you now are after doing this exercise. I thought that was weird at first, because I definitely felt relaxed and not full of energy. I mean...I was in bed about to go to sleep (husband already asleep). But then I could not fall asleep. I probably tossed and turned for another hour or two. Then a huge hail storm came, and that DEFINITELY did not help. haha. I then realized that it did give me energy, and then thought that it was a bad idea to do the exercise right before bed. At least I know it worked. :) I will keep this audio accessible for future lazy days.

I'd love to hear if anyone else had the same experience?? Have a great day everyone!!!
