I have to say that the practices that we have tried, that I find to be beneficial are Loving Kindness and Subtle Mind. For me it is easy to do the Loving Kindness. I am the person and smiles at you at the grocery store. Perhaps its to make you wonder why I am smiling at you, or make you wonder what I am up too. Here in New Jersey, people don't often smile without a reason. So I guess its just me screwing with others minds (LOL). But maybe they will pay it forward, and smile at the next person. As for Subtle mind, I have a little harder time doing, but I do it. It just doesn't come naturally. But I continue to think positive, and try to make all things have a positive outlook.
I know that I have changed since starting this class. Yesterday afternoon, my car broke down. Of course I was 40 mins from home, husband at work, and the kids needed picked up from school. Rather then have a complete stress meltdown. I called the husband, who was able to come and rescue me, I text my oldest who was planning on walking home from school anyway (our district doesn't provide bus service), and he was more then happy to walk to his sister school, and bring her home for me. Everything fell into place. Prior to this I would have cried and screams, and been all sorts of depressed. Amazing how much a person can grow is such a short amount of time.
