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?
