Unit 4 Blog Entry

 I found the experience pretty beneficial. As I have discussed this is my first time really participating in exercises like these so I'm really trying to embrace them. It's still pretty new, but as the weeks go by I'm getting better at grasping what is being asked of me during the exercises. I would recommend this exercise to a friend. Probably not to any of my close friends because they aren't in to what a class like this entails. To somebody that does have interest in the methods involved of this class I think they would benefit from it just like I was able to.

The purpose of a mental workout is to help free the mind of any negative thoughts or feelings you may have. This in turns helps the individual return to a state of inner peace and great calmness. From what Dacher (2006) explains; research on these types of workout have come to show short-term, and long-term benefits for a person. To incorporate mental workouts into my life I could begin by listening to the exercises provided to me in this class on a daily basis after lifting and running.
