Professor asked how do we like the Calm App or if we tried any other meditation apps?
We meditated for like 10 min. The Calm app suggested at the end: To pause to help productivity, “steeping back and pausing to come back and continue.”
There will be meditation at the beginning of the upcoming classes. Hence professor would like for everyone to be on time for class.
There was a breathing exercise. We counted our breathing (inhale & exhale) per minute.
How long does a person stay angry? Physiologically only 90 seconds.
Anger is fed by our thoughts.
There are situations that do justify feeling angry like the recent shootings in Georgia and Colorado. Â So, how do we channel our emotions?
Among the benefits of meditating is that it helps you to control emotions.
We shared comments about the preface of the book, The Power of Now.
