relaxing

I have listen to the relaxation twice I feel like I just can't do it. I can't relax. Well I did almost fall asleep once to it. His voice is soothing, but my mind is too full. There is too much going on in my life right now. I am on alert, ready for the next thing. It isn't good I know it. I will continue to try, but for now no real success.

    I was able to relax my breathing but not my hands and arms the way that he described. I didn't find the beginning or ending music as soothing as some other relaxation recordings I have heard, but his voice was at least relaxing. I can "feel your pain" with a mind that is too full, which is why I at least typically have music playing when I try to meditated, but it's been at least 6 months since I've tried it on my own. Maybe another form of relaxation will help you. I hope that you are able to find your own successful method to relaxing through the course of the next nine weeks. My stress management class helped with that as well.

    Hi Sandy,

    I can tell you I managed to do the same thing as well.. and that is fall asleep while listening to the man's voice. The music relaxed me and I woke up when he stopped. I know this can be achieved only through practice and I am not so great at these relaxation exercises.

    Hi Debbie,

    Thanks for your post and thank you for your honesty. I feel like most of us were probably not able to fully relax. Can you think of what might be causing you so much stress that you cannot relax for 10 minutes? I also was on the verge of falling asleep, and I believe it is because I get up so early and go to bed so late...sleep deprivation at its best. We all have full plates, but you really owe it to yourself for some down time to relax and not worry about a thing! Challenge yourself and complete this activity! You can do it!!!

      Yeah I do know my stress. I live with my mother-in-law to be her caregiver. My husband works an hour away so he wants to move closer, we found a place to rent that will let me take my horses, but not the kitties. My mother-in-law has been saying go ahead move, now she is being a brat about it. We wont even talk about the 17 year old kid.
