My brother and I used to do it on weekends so I'm aware of how effective it is. I expected to be calmer and less anxious about classes however, I am in a very loud space full of distractions so Headspace didn't help much this time.]]> 2021-01-06 17:55:59 UTC https://padlet.com/cfletcher36/bw5f23jinf88a0bz/wish/1060428099 23lnguyen12 https://padlet.com/cfletcher36/bw5f23jinf88a0bz/wish/1060432912 I felt like I wasn't going to enjoy meditation, but it actually was pretty ok.

My experience using one of these videos was really quick, i didn't expect it to go by so quickly because I assumed that meditation was getting into our minds (which i thought would slow down the world around us? (i don't make sense)) but afterward i felt ready for something, the week maybe, and i'm a bit more calmed down from the coffee.]]> 2021-01-06 17:59:26 UTC https://padlet.com/cfletcher36/bw5f23jinf88a0bz/wish/1060444396 23sdelgado3 https://padlet.com/cfletcher36/bw5f23jinf88a0bz/wish/1060445223 I do not enjoy meditation personally because sitting still and not talking isn't fun for me however the video I chose was somewhat helpful. I'm constantly stressing over all the assignments that I have to do that after a while I just choose not to do any of them. But the video taught me that doing things one at a time and taking a breath before I start to panic is a better solution so it was overall a good experience . ]]> 2021-01-06 17:59:38 UTC https://padlet.com/cfletcher36/bw5f23jinf88a0bz/wish/1060445223 https://padlet.com/cfletcher36/bw5f23jinf88a0bz/wish/1060445718 I am not really a meditation person but after I watched the video it made me more relaxed and changed me to a good mood. It wasn't really fun just sitting there doing nothing but now I feel less tired than I was from before. ]]> 2021-01-06 17:59:44 UTC https://padlet.com/cfletcher36/bw5f23jinf88a0bz/wish/1060445718 https://padlet.com/cfletcher36/bw5f23jinf88a0bz/wish/1060447734 Before the meditation, I felt tired and zoned out. I think the meditation was successful because I listened to Elmo’s voice saying goodnight which let me “sleep” while I was still awake and relax. I feel more awake now because it was like I got to sleep for 3 minutes. The music in the Elmo video was nice and I like his voice haha]]> 2021-01-06 18:00:08 UTC https://padlet.com/cfletcher36/bw5f23jinf88a0bz/wish/1060447734 23kvu3 https://padlet.com/cfletcher36/bw5f23jinf88a0bz/wish/1060450523 I've always had neutral thoughts on meditation. Before the meditation I was kinda tired. Personally the meditation didn't really help because I was really distracted. The children's one especially distracted me as there was someone talking. The adult one wasn't as bad but because of the quiet I had a lot of time to think]]> 2021-01-06 18:00:44 UTC https://padlet.com/cfletcher36/bw5f23jinf88a0bz/wish/1060450523 https://padlet.com/cfletcher36/bw5f23jinf88a0bz/wish/1060452827 Before the meditation, I felt more nervous for assignments to come and paranoid of other things. I felt a lot more tired and felt like I had less energy. With the mediation, I was able to feel more calm and less nervous. I felt like I slightly had more energy than before. The meditation was something I haven't done in a while and it was okay. It didn't really help me much but it helped me a little bit. I felt relaxed along with content after the meditation. Overall, I'm still nervous and stressed, but I feel like it helped reduce it.
