Welcome, Reflections, and Relaxation

Hello everyone!

My name is Melisa Arebalo and I am 32 years old. I am very much looking forward to learning as much as possible in this class. As I look at my life as a teenager and as a young adult, I am kind of disappointed in myself. I feel that I have made some choices that were detrimental to myself and my family and I want to make sure that I make nothing but healthy , progressive changes from now on. I am trying to make sure that I stick with the new habits that I have been learning. Last term I took a Stress Management and Prevention class and it helped me a great deal. I learned that I handle anger in some not so healthy ways and I am working on that. I am now continuing my progress and at the same time, I am using this information to help me to become a well rounded helping professional.

I am hoping that people reading this blog can be helped by what the things that  I go through and the progress that I make.

The Relaxation Session
I really enjoyed it! It was sooo relaxing, lol. I did not expect that. I though it would be a video telling me about relaxation and how good it is for us. I will be using this technique tonight when I need to wind down before bed. Maybe, I will use it from now on:)

  1. Hi Melisa,
    I am glad you found the exercise relaxing. I have tried meditating both at night and in the morning and for me the morning is best. After meditation I feel both more relaxed and more energized at the same time. I think the peace I find mediating follows me through the day. I think that once you get in the habit of meditating you will find it beneficial.
