The difference between Loving Kindness and Subtle Mind is in Loving Kindness the speaker prompted the listener to think certain thoughts about people we know. In the Subtle Mind exercise it was mostly breathing and trying not to think of anything and having a calm mind. It was hard to stay still and not think of anything. Also, when I do these exercises, I have been yawning a lot because I am tired and doing a lot of breathing. This was a good exercise to relax, especially for those people who are always doing something or talking. Some people do not ever  have quiet in their lives, between the tv and kids or someone talking to them. Spiritual wellness is connected to mental wellness because the person is calm and not stressed and their thinking makes them calm which is better for physical health. This connection helps people enjoy their life and makes them happy when they are thinking good thoughts and not letting the craziness of everyday life affect them. These exercises can make people nice to others which is important for harmony among people.

My experience with Loving Kindness was relaxing and because I did this late at night I was already tired and had a hard time staying awake. The exercise was beneficial because I relaxed and thought good thoughts, such as feeling loving kindness for people in my life, even those that I thought were my enemy. The difficult part was forgiving those that I thought were my enemy. Also, some other parts I was not sure what I was supposed to do or think about, but probably because it was my first time. I do recommend this to anyone, because it is relaxing, and helps calm your mind.

A mental workout is anything that will challenge a person’s mind, such as reading, games, and putting together clues to solve a mystery. Proven benefits of a mental workout are an acute mind. Mental workouts are good for your mind, just like exercising is good for your body.

My physical well being I will give a 7, since I am 49, have had two kids who wear me out, as well as working and going to school. I do try to walk when I can, but should work out more, and watch what I eat. Once good thing is that I work outside, and with plants. It feels good to get exercise, fresh air, and work with nature.
My spiritual well being I will give an 8 since I like do get Reiki, have my cards read, and feel that people who have passed communicate with me. Also, I like to be reminded with the quotes as far as treating people good, helping those less fortunate, kindness, and helping the world be a better place.
My psychological well being will get a 6 since this world is hard to live in as far as getting a good job, paying bills, and dealing with crazy people and things going on.

I would like to start doing yoga and meditation to improve my physical well being. I should find more quiet time for my spiritual well being, as try to improve some relationships with family and friends. To improve my psychological well being I could pray more, and be more thankful or grateful for everything in my life.

During the relaxation exercise, I did feel relaxed and kept yawning. I already have been falling asleep on the couch every night, especially when I am trying to get my schoolwork done, because I have been working so much lately. This was beneficial because it helps me remember to breath, and be quiet and relax and think about people and myself.
