This experience was difficult for me even though I enjoyed the idea it had of focusing on a loved one. I felt the time gaps when the speaker was talking were sometimes a little too long which led to me thinking of other unrelated thoughts. The loving kindness exercise was a little bit easier since it is typically easier for me to self-reflect, especially lately. I am torn between recommending this exercise to others or not simply because I had a difficult time but maybe others will connect easier than I do.
-What is the concept of "mental workout"? What does the research indicate are the proven benefits of a mental workout? How can you implement mental workouts to foster your psychological health?
A mental workout is to help expand your thoughts and mind to benefit yourself. In order for a mental workout to be truly beneficial, we need to do it regularly just as if we were physically working out. The biggest benefit of a mental workout is the ability to successfully train the brain to reduce negative emotions that can decrease productivity.
