Techniques
inpeaks.com 1
Introduction
A few good relaxation techniques can save your life,
because stress is more than just unpleasant. It’s also
dangerous to your health.
Disciplined practices such as meditation can help relieve
that stress, but what if you don’t have the time or
motivation? Maybe you need to try a few of these simple
ways to relax.

Tip #1
Hug someone. Giving a hug means
getting one. As long as it’s from
somebody you don’t mind hugging you,
this really can be relaxing.

Tip #2
Interrupt routines. Go talk to that guy
sleeping on the bench, or eat lunch on the
roof. Just doing anything that breaks you
out of your habitual patterns can relieve
stress.

Tip #3
Have a hot shower. It relaxes your muscles,
and any break from more stressful activities
can help too. Some find that an alternating
hot and cold shower is even more relaxing.

Tip #4
Try watching your mind. Spot the stressors lurking just below the surface (hunger, worry, a phone call you need to make), and you can resolve them and feel more relaxed.
If you practice this mindfulness exercise, it may become one of your favorite relaxation techniques.

Tip #5
Try laughing. Your own experience shows
that this helps you relax, right?
Go find a guy that knows all the best jokes,
or find something funny in front of you.

Tip #6
Use relaxing music. Keep your favorite
relaxation CD at the office, in the car, or
wherever you’ll need it most.

Tip #7
Leave the room for a while. This can really
help if the things in the room or related to
it are triggering your stressful thoughts.
Why not get out for a little while?

Tip #8
Breath deeply. Try five deep breaths
through your nose. Close your eyes and pay
attention only to your breathing while
doing this. It’s like a mini-meditation, and
perhaps the most effective of the quick
relaxation techniques.

Tip #9
Drink some chamomile tea. Chamomile tea
seems to have a calming effect on the
nerves. Any hot tea without caffeine may
be relaxing.

Tip #10
Walk a while. If you have at least ten
minutes to spare, walking is one of the best
relaxation techniques. While you’re at it,
find a pretty place to walk.

Conclusion
Naturally, it is ideal if you can change yourself, so
you’re naturally more relaxed all of the time.
Perhaps the thought of the work involved in this
just stresses you more.
In that case you might have to take it slow, so
why not start with one or two of the simple
relaxation techniques above?
