How To Relax Fast
from: Steve GillmanWhy should you learn how to relax fast? Because stress is more
than just unpleasant. It's also dangerous. Many diseases are now
known to be caused by or made worse by stress, but you can do
something about it. Just try these relaxation techniques today,
and use them whenever you feel that tension coming on.
1. Have a hot shower. The hot water relaxes your muscles, and
the break from more stressful activities helps too.
2. Play relaxing music. Experiment to see which music relaxes
you the most effectively. Then keep your favorite relaxation CD
at the office, or wherever you'll need it most.
3. Go somewhere else. This really helps if the things stressing
you out are in the room or associated with it. Why not get out
for a little while?
4. Have a cup of chamomile tea. Chamomile seems to have a
calming effect on the nerves, and hot drinks in general can help
you relax.
5. Watch your mind. If you can spot the stressors lurking just
below the surface (hunger, worry, a phone call you need to
make), you can resolve them and feel more relaxed.
6. Have a laugh. Of course, you know from experience that this
helps you relax, right? Find the guy that knows all the best
jokes, or just find something funny in front of you.
7. Breath deep through your nose. Just close your eyes and pay
attention only to your breathing while doing this. Five slow
deep breaths is like a mini-meditation.
8. Take a walk. Walking is one of the best relaxation
techniques if you have at least ten minutes to spare. Find a
pretty place to walk while you're at it.
9. Give someone a hug. As long as it's from somebody you don't
mind hugging, this really can be very relaxing.
10. Interrupt your routine. Stop to talk to that guy sleeping
on the bench, or eat lunch on the roof. Anything that breaks you
out of your habitual patterns can relieve stress.
Over time you can change yourself, and be naturally more
relaxed. Of course, if the thought of the work involved in this
just stresses you more, you might want to take it slow. In the
meantime, the relaxation techniques above really aren't
difficult, so why not try a few, and learn today how to relax
fast.
