Hello all!
My
experience with this exercise was not a high-quality one. I was
distracted and the constant silence, except the waves in the background, it
kept my mind wandering. I think the concept of a mental workout is excellent;
however, this exercise was not for me! I think perhaps it was the voices.
The gentleman's voice in the beginning was not relaxing, which set me in
the wrong direction, straight away from the beginning. Nor was the woman's voice that spoke for a
large duration of the exercise, she reminded me of something I would hear on a
science video.
I would not suggest this exercise to others, but I would suggest other exercises like it. I had a professor (here at Kaplan) who had the most relaxing voice, even in seminar he was relaxing, he should make a video. Perhaps with a visualization as well. Nothing distracting, just movement on your screen, so if your eyes open there is something soothing to look at. A screen saver of sorts.
Despite how I felt about this exercise, the purpose of a
mental workout that is compatible to you is a good one. A mental workout
in which is a good fit for you will make you become mindful, reduce stress and
improve your quality of sleep.

Hi Justina,
ReplyDeleteI had a similar experience as you with this exercise. I didn't mind the woman's voice but agree with you that the mans voice was not relaxing at all. The way I imagined his appearance further added distraction. I liked your point about finding an exercise or technique that works for you. I'm will keep practicing until I find mine :)
Justina,
ReplyDeleteWhich class was it with professor who had the relaxing voice? I do not remember his name right now but we had the same class. He is one cool dude.
