Unit 2 Reflection
All right everyone, so I really did try to sit through this entire exercise and focus on what he was saying but I had the hardest time staying focused! I think that the voice of the man and the music in the background was very relaxing but I could not fully concentrate on the exercises we were supposed do. I have never heard of autogenic relaxation techniques before and I think that they really could be beneficially but I need a little more practice on zoning out from the rest of my surroundings. Next time I do one of these exercises I will make sure that I am in an area away from the running washing and dryer and my cat who wants to walk all over me.... Between work and school it would probably be benficial for me to try to implement some of these relaxtion techniques to help maintain my sanity. Through out the week to come I will try to set aside a few minutes each day to focus on my breatrhing and relaxing my muscles and maybe that will make a difference.

Hello Sara,
ReplyDeleteI too had a hard time focusing. I am not one to sit and relax. I also prefer high intesity aerobics to pilates and yoga just for that purpose. I think that I will do this exercise at least once a week until I can learn to make myself relax.
I thought that the music and the gentleman's voice were both very relaxing. I had a hard time at first then I started to concentrate on my breathing and I could feel the warmth in my hands. I don't think that I made it to the end of the relaxatin journey because I startled myself awake thinking omg I am supose to be relaxing then realized that I was relaxing for the first time in weeks. I will continue to do the breathing exercises when time allows. Good luck.
ReplyDeleteSometimes it is hard to someone to actually take time out to do relaxation exercises like this if they are constantly moving. Relaxing to me is sometimes just sitting still for 30 minutes trying not to do anything. I have to work on this as well.
