Practices that foster mental fitness

I would have to say that the visualization practice and meditation would be most beneficial for me to improve my mental fitness.  I use the visualization practice everyday to help relieve stress and get a better workout for my body.  I visualize what I want to do in the future and how I can reach these goals through job performance and education.  Almost everyday I get frustriated with my job in the Army and I think about how it will help me later when I get out of the Army to attain a job I will love doing.  I also like to visualize me getting stronger, putting on more muscle, and getting leaner while I workout to motivate myself.  I want to be a strength and conditioning trainer for a college sports team later on.  I am going to try to start meditating at least once a week to help shift my brain waves to my left frontal cortex to help relieve stress and stay calmer through stressful situations.  I will be happier more throughout my life.  I will try to do this everyday sunday.

  1. Aaron,
    I forgot about the visualization practice, this would be a great exercise for me to use on my track kids that I coach. I liked this exercises when we went over it the first time but it slipped my mind as one of the ones I would have picked. I do think that you are making a great choice by using the mediation that we learned and using it to increase your workout, I have started but it seems you are much farther ahead of the game with this than I am. Good to you and remember staying stress free is good for your health.
