Just Relax

Let me say this first, I am have been likened to whirlwind of activity and sitting down to relax is hard for me unless I am reading a good book or I am doing homework. My mind is usually racing a mile a minute and I am always thinking of what needs to be done and how to get it accomplished in a timely manner, so turning my brain off is very hard for me.

I listened to the soothing voice in our exercise activity, took off my shoes and lay on my bed. I had a very hard time focusing at first because both of my grand kids were home.  My oldest grandson, Stryder who is turning five years old next month is autistic and he yells and stomps about  quite a bit.

I closed my eyes again after a couple minutes and continued to breathe deeply and allowed the commentators soothing voice to help me focus on my blood flow from my core. My hands grew from cold to warm before it was mentioned as a side effect of generating blood flow to my limbs and hands. However my fingers remained ice cold. I am glad I felt the warmth before it was mentioned during the exercise and I could just say that this was just “Power of Suggestion” rather than an actual occurrence. I do not feel influenced by suggestion; however I feel I need to work on this a little more as I could not get my mind to fully turn off due the ruckus occurring outside of my bedroom door.

The exercise was very relaxing and I will continue to do this as often as my mind will allow for down time.
