The two practices that I think are the most beneficial is the loving-kindness and meditation exercises.
The loving-kindness exercise has helped me filter individuals in my life. I am still a loving and caring person but I choose who and what I want to help so that I do not get taken advantage of. I have always said people mistake my kindness for weakness. I have gone through life letting my past control my present and future and am mentally a lot stronger now.
The meditation exercise has helped me overall as a person. It has helped my mind, body, and soul. Even though I don't meditate everyday I can surely tell a difference when I do. I a lot more calm. I don't seem to lose my temper as much as I used which was one of my down falls as a person. Every little thing would get to me and now it just kind of rolls down my back and I deal with situations as they come. I think I have a little more confidence in my self because I know if I can train my mind to do this. I am capable of so much more if I just apply myself.
Luna, I too found these two practices to be the most beneficial. I believe the Love n Kindness practice is beneficial for us to learn to love all in ways we didn't know how to before, and meditation to actually relax our minds and body. I do find your comment on confiedence is really important because if we are not confident in ourselfs how will we ever be good health care professionals.
