Describe your
experience. Did you find it beneficial? Difficult? Why or why not? Would you
recommend this to others? Why or why not?
For once I did find the
exercise beneficial. The woman talking was very soft and soothing and I believe
that helped. I also enjoyed the calming noise (water?) in the background during
the reflections. I would recommend it to others. It really helped me de-stress enough
to truly think about what the woman was saying and I think I will keep the clip
saved for me or others, especially when someone I know is suffering.

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 exercising the brain. We expand our
brain and keep it in the shape we would like it to be. It is beneficial to
memory, helps keep you quick thinking and helps you reach higher levels of
thinking for example. For my psychological health I could set aside time each
day to work out my brain and do things like meditation then a word search.
I have to agree the water was calming but the woman's voice was far from it. I had a had time concentrating and getting focused. Word search puzzles are one of my favorite things to do in my down time. I find it to be so relaxing and addicting. Thanks for sharing.
