Mental Workout is doing a serious of workouts like memorization, mental imagery, and perceptions that are practiced consistently in order to establish change in how we think, act, learn (Dacher, 2006). The benefits of mental workout, in the long run are positive mental and physical health. We are able to think clearly and quickly. If we let our minds relax, doing nothing with it over a period of time, it loses its abilities to think quickly and memorize adequately. We will eventually get depresses and physically slow down, possibly sick. We have to keep exercising the brain, much like exercising the muscles of the body to keep them strong, firm, pliable, adaptable. To implement mental workouts, we keep exercising the brain with constant stimulation, such as mental imagery, memorization skills, and perceptions, we will eventually change the structure of the brain in a positive direction (Dacher, 2006).
the exercise for this unit, Loving - Kindness, is something to use to mentally stimulate the brain consistently, so that eventually, we will be this loving-kindness person in our life. We can learn this concept and teach it to others, reaching the final goal of integral health.
