The mental workout concept is the same concept as working out and training ones body but it is for training one's mind as well as mental clarity and acuity. Practicing on expanding ones mind is something that will help one build on ones psycho spiritual health as well as achieving optimum a mind-body connection.
Mental workouts have proven that it is possible to train ones mind to 'workout' the negative emotions such as anger and fear diminishing these as to enhance and replace them with more positive, fruitful emotions such as patience and acceptance as well as optimal loving-kindness.
Becoming aware and conscious of mental workouts each day and including them in my life will enhance my well-being into a more peaceful lifestyle and once again gradually assist me with attaining harmony and balance towards my path to wholeness and optimal wellness.
What the world needs is more 'mental workouts'! There is a great need for regular meditation, to curb anger in the U.S., rather than trying anger management classes. I wonder how many people would openly admit to having anger issues...Getting people to meditate 'for a greater sense of peace" seems easier for the general populace to accept for themselves!
