The thought of taking our concern and turning it outwards, as opposed to having all of our concern be self-centered allows us to be more giving and envelops a warm feeling inside of ourselves.  The thought of putting others before myself is not difficult for me at this time in my life, I have two children girls one is four and the other three weeks, and being a parent, especially a mother to a newborn, you must put their own needs and wants before your own.  Taking the time to actually think about this process opens you up to understanding how much we can actually give to others when we allow ourselves to be completely given to others. 

            I believe that the experience of making the act of being kind and giving to others and putting their needs above your own is an eye opening experience, it teaches you what love is all about I think that this is something that every person should try.  If everyone on this planet thought of others happiness before their own there would be less hatred, crime, and the idea of war may not even exist.  I would recommend this idea to everyone.  Each person should try implementing this experience into their lives and look at the things that they do as “How do my actions make others feel?”.  If just for a day everyone could see how they affect others and actually care about those effects many things would be different in the world. 

The mental workouts that we are undergoing are like exercises for the mind they allow us to take the time to practice and understand different ways of thinking.  The time spent trying to understand the purpose of these activities allows our minds to grow into the ideas that the exercises are trying to project.  Mental workouts foster psychological health because they allow the mind to be opened up to new ideas and practices which can have profound effects on the way we see the world.
