I really enjoyed this exercise, because one of my favorite sayings is "A journey of a thousand miles begins with one step" and this was a great journey. And I didn't have to leave the house--or my chair for that matter. After reading some of my classmates blogs I realized that I should find a quiet place and not be hungry or just fed. :-))
The first time that I tried my 'journey', I had some trouble relaxing and taking my time. I was thinking about the quiz I needed to take and feeling stressed. I stopped the exercise, drank some water and sat on my front porch for about a half hour. The second attempt was more successful and even enjoyable. I will definitely be 'journeying on' before every quiz that I have to take in the future...success is in my control! In addition...I think that it would do me a world of good to practice the 'journey on' exercise a few times a week. I would love to get to the point that I wouldn't need the computer link...I could just use my mind to accomplish the same relaxed AND rejuvenated feeling any time--any where. This is my ultimate goal for this particular journey.
I decided to wait until everyone was asleep before embarking on the Journey On exercise. I was excited to take a minute for some much needed relaxation. I found myself inspired to download some guided meditation for my phone. It is too late tonight, but hopefully I will remember to do so soon. I am glad that you were successful on your second attempt. We all deserve to have this type of self care in our lives and I believe that your goal for this particular jouney to be achievable and wise.
