971 Words4 Pages

When you hear someone say I'm going to yoga class you tend to think it’s a woman, but that shouldn't be the case because this past semester I have taken yoga class and I'm a 20 year old college guy, not your typical yoga type, I tend t be a little on the hot head side sometimes but taking this class has helped tremendously with many situations, such as stress, frustration and aggravation. Honestly, this class was not really my thing I wasn't too excited about it when I heard I was put into it but it does help with my peace of mind. I typically have certain goals or at least a purpose for taking a class like this but this one I didn't really have an actual reason to take it, it was something that I really thought would be completely useless too me but it's improved my mental and physical attitude toward most things. It's changed my perspective on how to handle my irritation and annoyance with others and even more so myself. As a guy I'm honestly not too concerned about my own feelings, it not something I …show more content…

Yoga and meditation could play a big part in your life a lot of people don't get that advantage of taking the class that I got to take. I never thought it would be something I'm really into and I think it's good for you just in general I would have trouble waking up in the morning so I would sun salutations to become more attentive then at night I would focus on my deep meditation along with my heart centering to bring my energy back down.

I highly advise you take this class even if you don't think it's something you would be into, I very much enjoyed it and hope to continue my

The author starts by assessing that from the millions of Americans who suffer from depression, very few men seek help. Indeed, men tend to not take care of themselves and therefore often fail to recognize depression symptoms. Another important factor is that many men won’t admit their struggle, seeing the illness and its acceptation as weakness. Influenced by social norms or ideals by which successful men should be positive and in control, some even prefer to kill themselves than to admit they need help.

I have the power to choose how I view myself, and to not allow my identity to be drawn from the way that others see me. Finally, I have the power to choose the way that I see others, regardless of the label that they have been given; because in reality, a label is just a label. It is merely a reflection of how other people see them, not of the person that they truly are.

At the beginning of this course I honestly thought that my personal values and ethics all came from the same source, which was the religion I grew up following.
