After reading chapter 6 and listening to the loving-kindness mp3, I realize that I already practice loving-kindness on a daily basis. I say good morning to all who come by at my work and show kindness to most all people I come in contact with. I increased my loving-kindness this week and it made me feel good, it made my insides feel warm and fuzzy. So yes I found it beneficial, I would definitely recommend that others try it because it may make them feel better inside as well. The mp3 exercise was relaxing and I enjoyed listening.
The concept of a mental workout is the same as a physical workout, to keep the mind in proper functioning order it needs to have a good workout daily or several times a week. This is done progressively developing the expansion of our consciousness and understanding our healing capabilities (Dacher, 2006). To benefit psychological health we can practice loving-kindness and training our minds to control and choose our thoughts, and emotional states.

Reflection.
My physical well-being I would rate at an 8 still a work in progress but definitely showing improvement. My spiritual well-being is at an 8 as well very on track with my thoughts and feelings spiritually.
My psychological well-being is at a 6 lots of work and still a daily effort is required this is results from being unhappy at work with coworkers, stress with not enough time in the day, and being drained of energy.
Physically my goal is to put more time into my strength training, it is important to me to increase my physical strength and gain muscle.
Spiritually my goal is to have more faith.
Psychologically my goal is to be happier and reduce the amount of stress I allow into my life.
Activities I can introduce into my life are more exercising time pushing harder to achieve my strength, let go of things I can not control, believe in things more often and just enjoy my day.
I enjoyed the relaxation exercise the man's voice was soft and my whole body felt very light. It was beneficial to me today because I have felt very tensed and now surprising I feel better.

Health
Hi Everyone,
I believe being healthy definitely has to do with a person's mind, body, and spirit all working together harmoniously. I am looking forward to learning much more on this subject and this class!
