I have been doing daily meditations and guided visualizations and have found myself to be a heck of a lot calmer. During the visualization I would think of money flowing into my life and as of last week I got a new job, after searching for months, and also my house sitting business is booming. Also like I have said before I have learned to just let people do their negative talking without joining in. Now that I meditate each day I have no desire for watching TV, instead I read or do research online. As of the last week or so I mostly only have time for schoolwork in place of the TV watching. I have seen many benefits from my daily meditation and visualization practices.
I believe I have gained a greater understanding of life and people. Since I understand people better I communicate better with them. Plus I know what people to keep at a distance. I feel like I have a clearer vision of where I’m going in life.
Overall I feel like I have reduced my stress, by knowing how to manage the stress, I am relaxed and happier. I can tell there has been an improvement in my attention, alertness, and mental flexibility.
Good for you that you have a clearer vision and path of where you are going! Congrats!
ReplyDeleteAs I was reading through your blog, I found myself agreeing with you that I too am much calmer since starting to practice the exercises in this class. Being new to meditation I have found some of them easier than others, but definitely overall I am making progress and starting to enjoy the benefits. Just last night I was in a meeting with someone that usually I find annoying and she gets on my nerves. During the meeting I tried practicing the loving kindness exercise and feel it really helped with the negativity I usually feel toward and from her. I found myself able to just relax and enjoy the other members of the team and felt we progressed nicely with our agenda.
Overall I feel that I too have learned to manage my stress better and I am definitely making progress and headed in the right direction.
Congratulations on the new job and the success with your house sitting business! It really is true that visualization helps us to make those things we visualize manifest. It's taken experiencing it firsthand for it to really sink in for me, but I know now that it's *so* true. Does knowing that things like visualization work make you more conscious of the thoughts you have and hold? It has for me. I am more cognizant of the way I think about things, knowing that if I hold in my mind a negative view it will increase the negative aspects of that situation (and vice versa).
