Throughout this exercise and this hellish week I have endured, I must say that suffering is nothing I want to deal with. This exercise was rather difficult for me this week and it did take a few days for me to get through it because I have been dealing with some rather personal issues. However, the feeling it gave me was a sense of belief. I was able to believe in my own thoughts and went into a state of prayer for others who suffer. It was beneficial for the sake of my own mind. I have noticed that from this past week's readings such as Dacher and the belief of the mind, I have begun to think a little bit different at the stressors in my life and what I even have them for. Because of these stressors, I had a terrible week, but quite honestly, these stressors, were choice stressors and all I really need to do was sit down and think if they were really important to me. If they are not, they will not make it to next week, and if they are, well they will be thought through and analyzed.
I think mental workouts are quite powerful because it gives the mind a chance to relax and focus on what has been going on while also releasing feelings that are deep down. It helped me understand the point of life and what living is really for. It's not exactly for other people but for yourself. In order to be helpful, one must be comfortable within themselves. Through this exercise, it helped me do just that.
