Relax, anywhere at anytime!

Learning to relax is crucial to both our mental and physical health.  Each of us, as individuals, must find a relaxation technique that works for us.  When you feel calm, your body and brain work at their best.  You see things from a better perspective, and life seems a little easier to deal with.  This helps your body deal with emotions much better and helps it to recharge and re-energize.  Learning to unwind at anytime trains your body to give you more "real" energy throughout the entire day. 

Rules for relaxation:
1.  Find a quiet place if possible.  (Even if it has to be the restroom)
2.  Turn off your phone.
3.  Make sure you are comfortable.
4.  Try to use the same place everyday so your body gets used to it.
5.  Try to let go of all your worries for a short time.  Your problems will still be there when you are through, but your mind will be refreshed and be able to cope with them better.



Here is a simple and quick relaxation exercise you can do anywhere to help your body calm down and focus better for the situations at hand.

• Take a deep breath in and clench all your muscles.
• Make a fist, tighten your arms and legs, scrunch your face and squeeze your eyes tightly closed.
• Hold this for a about 20 - 30 seconds and then breath out and let go of all the tension.
• Repeat this a couple of times and then begin breathing normally.

Another simple way to relax is to sit and close your eyes and concentrate only on your breathing.  When you feel your mind wonder off, bring it right back in to your breathing again.  Learning to do this takes practice, but once you are able to do this for 5-10 minutes at a time without allowing your mind to wonder, it will become a great way to relax anywhere, and help you learn to keep things in perspective.

Take time this week to relax and keep working on that healthy, happy life your deserve.
