Unit 2 Welcome, Reflection and Relaxation Exercise

Greetings my fellow Wellness Peers!

I am very new to the blogging experience and have to admit that I haven't quite mastered it.  Actually I am not ever sure I was successful in creating my Blog as I do not see any comments.  One of my Wellness Peers mentioned she commented but on my end I can not see it. Can any of you see me?

I took this class in hopes to balance out my lifestyle and incorporate more healthier aspects.  This is my second week and I am just realizing that I am a ball of knots inside and out.  This is my last term with Kaplan and I have never felt so much anxiety before (other than when I had to take STATS).  The thought of reading and researching now drain what little energy I have inside. Not to be a Debbie Downer or anything it actually take practice for me to think positively 100% of the time.  I seem to give off a positive energy when I am helping others (my concentration is in Human Services) however when it comes to me personally I do not always practice what I preach.  Work in progress as I know how important it is to think positively and how the mind really is connected with the body.

The relaxation exercise was mind blowing. Yes, mind blowing!  I have tried other techniques and honestly I would spend the entire time thinking about the million and two things I had to do once my session was over. But not this time. I actually felt the blood going to my arms and hands. I actually could not move them. And then when I redistribute the blood back to my stomach I could raise my arms.  And yes, I did feel lighter and have more energy. I actually feel very optimistic at this very moment.  I sure hope you all can see my post.  I could only "add" 11 people and somehow I managed to either be "following" 4 others or they are "following" me. But guess what?  At this very moment I do not have any cares :-)

Peace&Blessings

Duplicate Post - HW420

Okay, this is a duplicate post. If you see it say Duplicate than I must be doing something wrong. Please let me know HW420!

Today I begin my journey to achieve a higher quality of life.  As usual I woke up with symptoms of physical nausea and emotionally blue.  This is such the norm for me that I simply accept the way I feel and move about my day existing and not truly living. Is there a connection I ask myself?
