Reflection on guided meditation

Guided meditation drives me nuts!  I don't know if the reason I can handle guided meditation is because my mind is to crazy or I just need practice.  I tried really hard to relax and follow the instructions but my mind goes from listening to it to thinking about something totally in left field and then the gong goes of and makes me jump! I'm thinking that it is really just not for me.  I think I rather use other ways to relax, such as going for a walk or reading.

About Me

My name is Sarah Sobon, I recently got married so my name is still Sarah Potter in the class.  I am 23 years old and I live in Waukesha, Wisconsin.  I am currently working on my bachelors in health and wellness.  When I graduate I would love to become a wellness coordinator that works with children.  I feel that there is a huge obesity epidemic in this country and unfortunately it is effecting children.  I feel that we need to get back to basics with our lives by cutting out the processed stuff and adding in the natural stuff.  I also think that we need to slow down and enjoy life more.  Stress is a huge factor in obesity as well as many health conditions.  In my spare time I love to walk, I am currently training for my first half marathon.  My goal is to finish, I don't care how long it takes me I just want to finish.  I also like to go kayaking and swimming.
