Of the exercises completed in this course, I have found the loving kindness and meditation exericises to be more beneficial. The loving kindness exercise is the directly related to my personality therefore, it is the easiest for me to relate and practice. I try to daily to show loving kindness to my family, coworkers, and sometimes even strangers. It feels good doing going for others, and in return I believe you recieve your blessings.
Meditation has been the best way for me to relax. I can sit and access my deepest thoughts and emotions, take them apart and put them back together again. Even when I am having a stressful day, I can go to a quiet place and even meditate on the bad things. This gives me a new focus on how to handle problems in the future. As a result of meditation, I can maintain my sense of calmness, and a grip on reality while maintaining my focus on my many tasks at hand.

I agree with you that meditation is calming during the rough times. I know when I am meditating over something that is upsetting to me, I find great relief in repeating a phrase over and over again like, "I am capable of handling everything that comes my way." It certainly allows me to keep my grip on things and remain calm and in control. Good post!
