Meditation and Visualization

Hello

During this course there were several practices I have learn from but the ones I feel benefits me the most is Meditation and Visualization. As a deployed Soldier you face many emotions and situations throughout the deployment. No matter how much training you go through it still isn't enough or at least you feel it isn't enough until you are face with situations. I chose this course along with other course during my deployment to find other ways to cope being in a stressful environment away from my love ones. I have really find meditation and visualization to be the best solution for my situation and environment. Some days is so overwhelming its have my mind wondering? Soldier are always been  diagnose with PTSD but I feel if the military will encourage such practices or have classes weekly it will cut down on the many cases. I'm not saying it will solve many issues because something’s Soldiers encounter is so hard to overcome.

I know these practice are beneficial and will be beneficial to foster mental fitness because I am testing in a very stressful environment. I know what work for me might not work for other as well but I am sure it will help. I will continue to take time out of my day preferable during my lunch time where I can be alone in my room. I do at time just take time out while sitting at my desk during the day because some day are overwhelming than others. I will sure continue this practice throughout my life.
