- Describe your experience. Did you find it beneficial? Difficult? Why or why not? Would you recommend this to others? Why or why not? I am new to this meditation business, but I like it. I find it helpful to only be thinking about one person at a time, including myself. I am already a a pretty thoughtful person, I'm not just tootin' my own horn either. I love to do things for other people, and I don't care about the material rewards. Knowing how I make others feel is good enough for me. I believe that this type of reward is beneficial to our well being. This exercise helped me to reflect on the time I told my boyfriend of 10 years I love you for the first time. I remember the feeling I got, and how nervous I was to say it, and how good it felt. I reflected on the birth of my kids and how I love them so much I can literally feel it in my core.
- 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? Just focusing on yourself, or someone else, letting in only positive energy. How those positive thoughts poor out of your body, like a light in the darkness.

Hi Carrie. I enjoyed reading your blog. Wow it took 10 years to say, "I Love You"! It must have felt great. :-) Did you find it easy to picture in your minds eye those persons and those moments. Some times it is so challenging for me to let everything else go and focus on the one thing. I thought the part about focusing loving kindness on your enemies was great. This is something that can be so hard. I am very easy going and have had few in my life that I had a real disdain for. But the few are serious. I thought about how when you hear something over and over again it seeps in just like a song. If I send loving kindness to everyone even those who I don't care for, like the people who cut me off when I'm driving safely....it will be easier and easier to feel that way even when someone wrongs you.
