I just finished listening to the Journey On relaxation exercise and all I can say is wow...
Although the audio made me want to fall asleep I didn't feel the least bit relaxed. I had a hard time getting past the annoying male voice that was talking about muscles, blood, and carpet. It was a little creepy at times and I just wasn't into it. I have listened to various other relaxation activities, most of them having some type of instrumental music which I find to be very soothing. I don't enjoy listening to someone instruct me for 15 minutes on things I should do to release stress. I would much rather listen to elevator music and let myself drift off into my comfort zone. I also like breathing exercises which I learned through a previous class. This can be very relaxing and give your mind a break from the everyday stressors. I have always wanted to try yoga but have never been able to find the time. This Journey On listening however, will remain at the bottom of my list for things to do when I am feeling anxious. Hopefully there is someone out there that can benefit from it but unfortunately by the end of it all I wanted to do was strangle the gentleman on the other end.
Hello Jennifer!
ReplyDeleteI too had a very hard time listening to this relaxation exercise, it was boring and very annoying. They could have picked a better person for the narrator! I just did not like him, he seemed unsure of his message and was not confident. I too have had various other classes that required me to listen to other relaxation exercises and some of them were WAY better. I too enjoy the exercises that are accompanied by music. This was just a waste of 15 minutes. Thanks Jennifer!
