Welcome and Reflection

Welcome everyone to my blog!  I am quite excited because I have never started a blog before. This blog will most likely be filled with our class assignments but I might add some personal experiences as well.  I just started a new journey to help my physical health and I am excited for how this class can help with the mental part!  I have started what is referred to as a Whole 30 which involves eliminating sugar, alcohol, dairy, grains, and legumes from my diet for 30 days.  I am on my fifth day and I must admit that I do feel much better!  My sleep is more restful and I can wake up easier in the morning.  I also feel that my anxiety levels have reduced.  This has been quite a change for me so I will probably be blogging about my experiences over the next 30 days. 

The Journey On relaxation exercise was quite lovely!  I was able to feel the change in temperature and weight in my arms.  At the time I was feeling like I could just fall asleep but I did "wake up" feeling mentally refreshed and focused.  I thought that the music was nice and the speaker's tonality was soothing. 

I hope that everyone has fun with their blogs!
