Journal Entry 8 – Week 8 – Stress Reduction Strategies 1) Reflect on things you noticed about your body/mind while participating in the stress reduction techniques in this week's module. Will you incorporate any of these interventions in your daily practices? This week's module has taught me various stress-reduction techniques and I have also tried practicing most of them. Trying mindful meditation was a unique experience, I observed that my mind was more relaxed and focused, and my anxiety levels also reduced. I read somewhere in an article that mindful meditation reduces anxiety and depression. After trying it for some days I can now confirm that it does help in reducing anxiety and feels like I've gone through therapy. Another technique that I've been using is guided mediation. This technique involves focusing on pictures in one's mind. When I pictured things in my mind, I could feel how my body would respond to it. These two techniques have helped me in reducing my daily stress, making me feel more relaxed. 2) Describe your ideal imagery for use in a guided meditation. Explain it by answer the following: What is the temperature at the scene? Who is there? What colors are present in your scene? What sounds? What movement is occurring? Elaborate as to why these components of your image are relaxing to you. This week's module has taught me various stress-reduction techniques and I have also tried practicing most of them.
