Here are a few ways to ease your everyday stress that only
take a few minutes, but will make your life a little easier.
Sit in a comfortable chair, close your eyes and breathe
deeply in through your nose filling your chest with air. Breathe out slowly
through your mouth releasing the problems of the day. Think only about the
things that make you happy.
Sit in a comfortable position. Lean your head against the
back of a chair. Close eyes, take a deep breath and place each thumb at a point
on the base of the skull near each ear. Move thumbs downward from ears to
shoulder tops; press and hold tense spots as you go. Then rub back of neck from
base of skull downward, pressing and holding tense spots. Cross one arm over
chest and press muscles along top of opposite shoulder; hold until tension is
released. Repeat with other arm. Drop arms to sides, and breath, imagining your
skull is heavy as a bowling ball. Relax completely.
Take a bubble bath. Light scented candles all around you,
and turn off the lights listen to classical music.
Imagine you’re self
on a quiet tropical Island. See yourself-relaxing on a great lounge chair while
servants take care of your every need.
Get a good night's sleep: Don't drink coffee or eat too late
as it makes it difficult to sleep. Try listening to soothing music as you drift
off to sleep. Don't think about what you need to do the next day.
Add a few drops of calming aromas to Olive oil, smooth on temples or earlobes.
Exercise; It increase blood flow, bringing more oxygen to
your brain and unkinks tight muscles.
To ease kinks out of shoulders and upper body, while sitting
at your desk, alternate each arm, reaching towards the ceiling.
Light scented candles around the room turn off lights lie on
your back and reach arms and legs toward ceiling. Rotate, starting with each
arm and then each leg.
Rotate your head stretching as far as you can, start to your
right shoulder, the to the back as if looking at the
ceiling, then to left
shoulder then to front, putting chin to chest. Do for a few minutes then rotate
starting with
left shoulder.
Close your eyes lift both arms over your head until your
hands touch. Slowly lower your arms down to your sides up and down as if in a
flying motion. Imagine you are a bird flying over the ocean. Let your
imagination soar.
Remember, make "don't worry, be happy" your daily motto!
