Hello everyone,
This is my first time ever going to a blog let alone creating my own. Hope it is informational and fun.
Reflection on the Journey On Relaxation:
I opened the link provided below not knowing what I was about to do. Almost immediately I knew it would be something that would require me to relax. That was going to be a problem. I had my kids watching TV, my husband and the dogs running around the house doing what they normally do and I was in home work mode. So I closed it. Said to myself I don't have time and the environment is not good right now for me to relax. This is not uncommon for me. I don't normally have time to relax until late in the evening once everyone else has gone to sleep.
Second try, I was able this time to listen to the recording all the way through. My son had company so he was occupied and my husband was outside washing our vehicles, so interruptions from him and my daughter was in her room taking a nap. I went into my bathroom and locked the door. This is where I normally go to get away from things and have a little quite time.
I was amazed at how relaxed I became, I noticed that when it started my neck felt tight and stiff and by the time it was all over my neck felt better. As for as what was being suggested I was able to follow along and I did achieve the feeling of my arms being heavy and not wanting to lift but I found it difficult to achieve any temperature change. I'm normally pretty cold natured and my hands remained cold the entire time. However, I think the ultimate goal was achieved. I was relaxed, re energized, clear of mind and ready to write this post. I will put this exercise in my tool box and try it again and again.

Great job on sharing with us the outcomes of both attempts! Very real and very entertaining. My wife would probably say she feels your pain. My attempt failed and I felt as though both the time and the setting was just not right. I will try again, but I'm not sure when because my schedule never really puts me in a place of being alone long enough to complete this. My son starts kindergarten this Thursday so hopefully I will be able to do so after I have joyously dropped him off to class.
