Constant tension is a frequent companion of modern man. It does not allow you to work productively during the day, prevents you from falling asleep at night. To cope with tension and return to normalcy, simple relaxation techniques can help.
Instructions
Step 1
If for some time you do not think about what torments you, nothing catastrophic will happen. Put worrying thoughts aside without suppressing them. Doing so will make room for relaxation, allowing the excitement to fade away.
Step 2
Even if you don't feel well, try to get out into the fresh air. Focus on the world around you: what do you see, what sounds do you hear, what smells do you feel? Concentrate on individual details, just watch.
Step 3
At home, in warmth and comfort, take a comfortable position, close your eyes. Breathe in slowly, feeling as you inhale the air down and back. Imagine your muscles softening and relaxing like burning wax.
Step 4
Do simple things at home - handicrafts, reading books, playing with children. The main thing is to give up the temptation to indulge in dark thoughts that do not help you to change your situation for the better.
Step 5
If you feel the tension is running high, ask your doctor for advice on natural sedatives. You can also sleep during the day, but no more than an hour, then it will be easier for you to fall asleep at night.
Step 6
Relaxation should become a permanent habit. Release tension throughout the day by releasing the muscles in your face and neck by taking slow, deep breaths in and out. Be sure to move, do not lie idle, and if you have a sedentary job at the computer, change your posture more often and rest your eyes.
Step 7
Try not to worry about the little things. A rude word, inclement weather outside the window, a broken phone - don't let all this unsettle you. Tell yourself that there are many joys in your life, and you will not let annoying incidents ruin your mood.
Step 8
Don't try to fight stress. Let them be, but give yourself a clear direction that you will be able to cope with them, and therefore you have nothing to fear. Learn to put up with what you are not able to change, then life will sparkle with new colors, and there will be less and less reasons for stress.
