Relaxation Techniques

Relaxation techniques are an essential part of stress management. Relaxation is invaluable for maintaining your health and well-being, and repairing the toll that stress takes on your mind and body. Almost everyone can benefit from learning relaxation techniques. Relaxation techniques help to slow your breathing and to focus your attention on the here and now. Common relaxation techniques include meditation, mindfulness, tai chi and yoga. For a more active approach, walking outdoors or participating in a sporting sports activity can be relaxing. To get the most benefit, use relaxation techniques along with other positive coping methods, such as getting enough sleep, and reaching out to supportive family and friends. It doesn´t matter which relaxation technique you choose. What matters are that you select a technique that works for you and that you practice achieving relaxation regularly.
