Loving-kindness and mental workout

After I listened to the loving-kindness exercise, I felt more peacesful and at one with myself.  The exercise help me reflect on my spiritual well-being and how I could work to be a better person.  It is hard for me to have enough time in the day to sit in one spot and get in a restful, comfortable position and expand my heart to release my loving-kindness.  I will work harder to be able to take more time out of my busy life to get in a peaceful state and reflect on how I can use my loving-kindness to help others and become a better person in the future.  I would not recommend this exercise personally because that is not how I become relaxed and less stress.  I use the weight room for that and talk to my wife about stressful things happening in my life.  I do believe its something I should try to do more but I do make time to pray and reflect on how I could become a better person and put others before me.  Mental workout is a workout that tames and trains the mind, opens the heart, expands consciousness, and progresses us toward psychospiritual flourishing.  When stabilized, calm-abiding natually evolves into the highest level of consciousness, unity consciousness.  When we gain access to unity consciousness, we gain access to the resources of a higher consciousness--wisdom, peace, compassion, happiness, and wholenss.  I will work on taking more time out of my week to do more mental workouts to increase my overall wellness.
