My favorite exercises- Unit 8

The 2 exercises that I have found the most beneficial in this class have been the loving-kindness exercise and the Meeting Aesclepius. The loving-kindness exercise has helped me to accept and love myself and to block out the negativity caused by many of those people around me. Through this, it has helped me to reconnect with my Reiki abilities that I thought were lost since I started at Kaplan. I've been able to open myself up to divination practices again and feel pride in what I do. The Meeting Aesclepius made me realize that I need to do what I want to do with my life and not worry about what other people think about it. After I came to this realization, I found out that my sister is dating someone who's mother is into all of the New Age things that I do. Now, my family has been looking at these things in a new light and even encouraging me to go and see this woman and talk with her. This woman even gave my mother a gift to give to me and it makes me surprised that my mother actually did it. I feel as though things are finally starting to turn around with my family for once and if I just stick to my path, I can show everyone how serious I am about my chosen career. I believe that sticking to both of these practices from now on will help me to achieve mental fitness by keeping me grounded in my path in life. When a person knows where their life is going and what they want from it, stress and depression go away and I believe that is what has happened to me.
