Relaxation exercise

So as I began to listen to this recording, I felt annoyed when I saw that it lasted 15 minutes, and I was thinking to myself "I've done these exercises before, I am not in the mood".  But I decided I would listen for as long as I could endure so I could complete this blog post.  However, despite the fact that my mind was busy during it, I started to feel relaxed.  I would have stopped it in the middle of it, however I couldn't move my arms because they were too warm and heavy! LOL.  Seriously though, my shoulders immediately relaxed and then I realized how stressed I was.  I'm listening to my baby's swinging chair rock back and forth in the background, and the breathing of my 5 year old as she sleeps.  My husband is in bed so everything is quiet except for my typing, and all I have now is time to myself, to think, to relax and enjoy some peace.  The man was very hypnotic!  I was genuinely surprised by how my body responded to his power of suggestion.  I would go to him to hypnotize me if I was to ever go to someone for that.  Really though, so far from what I've read in our assigned readings has made me aware of the fact that I might die young if I don't change my thinking.  I live in a constant state of stress.  Thanks for reading, come again some time :)
