There are many ways, methods and techniques that can help relieve tension. Among them there are several options that will not take long to complete. However, they are really effective.
Tension - physical and mental - can accumulate inside for a long time, gradually declaring itself more and more, complicating life. In some cases, the tension can roll in a strong wave. This is especially true for any anxious, exciting or unforeseen, stressful situations.
You can relieve excess stress by screaming, but it is not always possible to scream enough so as not to attract someone else's attention. Vigorous exercises are considered effective against the fight against mental and physical stress: push-ups, running, punching a pear (or even a pillow), and other types of activity. However, this is also not always available. However, there are several simple techniques that are really capable of quickly regaining lightness and normalizing the general condition.
Fast self-massage
Relaxation massage is best, of course, in a relaxed environment. However, it can be done quickly and in working conditions it is also possible. It will take no more than 10 minutes of time.
First, you need to thoroughly grind, warm up your hands so that your fingers are not cold. After that, gently but vigorously massage your face. You should start from the bottom: run your fingers over the lower jaw, massage your cheeks, gradually rising higher. At the moment of self-massage, listen to yourself: do not try to deliberately control the movements of your fingers, close your eyes, let your hands find the right points by themselves, the stimulation of which will help you quickly relax.
When doing self-massage from tension, pay special attention to the bridge of the nose, temples, and also do not forget about the ears and the area behind them. Breathe calmly, deeply and rhythmically as you take action. It is best to inhale through the nose, but exhale through the mouth, folding the lips with a tube or "pushing" the air through clenched teeth.
The quick massage can be completed by rubbing and pinching the back of the neck. If you feel that the residual tension has transferred to the shoulders, then do 10-20 massage movements in this area of the body.
The meaningless word technique
This technique allows you to relieve non-chronic stress in 5-10 minutes.
Stand up or sit comfortably in a chair. Cover your ears with your palms and close your eyes. Take a few deep breaths in and out in this position. And then in a whisper, begin to pronounce all the sounds, syllables, words, phrases that only come to your head. Do not try to comprehend what you are saying, do not look for meaning, do not build adequate words and logical sentences. Let go of your consciousness, listen to how your whisper sounds, continuing to press your palms tightly to your ears.
Shaking the tension out of the body
You can perform this exercise both during the day, if possible, and before bedtime. Often this technique helps to relax very well, after which you can easily and soundly fall asleep. In addition, this exercise disperses the blood in the body well, helps to saturate the organs and cells with oxygen due to rapid and deep breathing.
The entire technique should be performed within 10-15 minutes. Be sure to make sure that dizziness does not appear, so that there is no unnecessary discomfort in the body. Do all movements do not abruptly so that there is no pain.
Stand in a comfortable place with a stable posture. Breathe calmly and evenly. Raise your left hand slightly and start shaking it slightly. Gradually release control over this part of the body, let the hand "toss" and shake, vibrate as it wants. Achieve a state as if you are shaking out all the excess tension through your fingertips. Listen to your feelings. When you feel a pleasant heaviness and warmth in your left hand, repeat all actions with your right hand.
After the hands, go to your feet. Also start with your left foot. Tear it off the floor a little and start shaking it, swing your leg the way you want it. At this moment, for stability, you can rest your hand on a wall or chair. Then repeat all steps with the right leg.
Finish with a full body shake. Spring in place, but don't jump, release your tension. If you want to make some sounds, do not interfere with your desire. Listen to your body, it will tell you how it needs to move in order to "shake out" all the tension.
Short meditation
Meditation is a great way to relax, relieve anxiety and tension. You can meditate even for 5 minutes, just freezing and listening to yourself, to the world around you, realizing yourself “here and now”.
To get rid of the accumulated tension inside, you can visualize during meditation how the light stream of the Earth's energy enters from below, and from above - the sparkling stream of the energy of the Cosmos. How these two forces, intertwining inside you, cleanse, get rid of everything unnecessary, stressful, superfluous.
