Heres to Hoping Relaxing Exercises work for me very soon :)

The exercise I just did was relaxing, and I want to save it for a future date. The reason being I have too much going on right now that I am finding it very very difficult to focus on relaxing. I know this is the opposite of what I am supposed to do when stressed, but this week is not a good week to take time for relaxing exercises in my day. I am going to work on this very hard for the rest of the term and in life, and that is why I want to save the exercise. I love the music, but am not used to the "calming" voice talking me through a technique. This man wasn't as bad as some I have heard in similar exercises, and wouldn't mind finding more time, correction making time, to do things like this. I did feel as I was "relaxing" a sense of calm, but my brain wouldn't shut off. Therefore, I know it was not as effective as it should have been. I also have a faster heartbeat lately because of my situation and moving in less than six days thousands of miles away and not being prepared, among other things. I did also notice that it didn't make me sleepy. which normally music like this would. That was exciting that even though I know it wasn't max effective for me right now I did still gain something from the exercise. I will try this again before my long drive in hopes to leave the stress here and have a safe calming experience on my way back home in order to hopefully work on a new way of life once I get there. It is time for the next level for me and I have hope exercises and guidance will help me achieve that. :)

Welcome, Please Come In

Hi Everyone!!!

First off, I want to say this is my first blog ever and I do not really have the hang of it yet. I am excited to journey with you guys throughout term and learn and share with you all. I hope I can find things exciting and enlightening to share with you all as you read my blog. The discussions we will have in the future are exciting for me so hopefully I can write and portray these feelings to you. I am not a writer, nor do I consider myself talented in the imagination category so this is going to prove challenging for me. I hope to grow with you all and come out of this all much more confident in my abilities. :)
