Unit 2 of Creating Wellness

Hello all and welcome to my blog. I hope you all enjoy reading my posts each week!

Honestly, every time I try and do one of these relaxation exercise it makes me laugh. When I was pregnant with my first child my dad decided he wanted to be my coach. We could not attend lamaze classes, but we did get a binder that had all different types of techniques to help calm you down during the labor process. One of them was very similar to a lot of these relaxation techniques I have heard. My dad tried so hard to read the script in the book and say it in a calm way and it reminds me of the way the man sounds in this one, and every other one I have heard, so it makes me laugh and think of my dad.

I had to listen to this exercise in my Managing Stress class also. I have a really hard time with these, like I said they make me laugh. The music was very soothing and reminded me of the music you would hear while getting a massage. I have tried this technique on many different occasions and cannot seem to get really relaxed. I wish this stuff relaxed me, but unfortunately it does not :( Comparing my muscles to wet sponges just doesn't do it for me...

My Journey

So I haven't written in my blog for quit a long time! I am currently on a weight loss journey and have about 30 more pounds to go. My liver doctor wants me down 10% of my body before my next liver MRI in October. Praying it's not liver cancer....
