It is important to breathe correctly when trying to relax and the method used requires that we breathe by using our stomach muscles rather than our chest muscles.<\/p>\n
a) Watch your stomach going up and down as you breathe trying not to use your chest muscles.<\/p>\n
b) Make breathing out longer than breathing in.<\/p>\n
c) Close your eyes.<\/p>\n
d) Think about your feet, wriggle your toes then keep them perfectly still.<\/p>\n
e) Think about your ankles and feel the relaxation run past them, into your knees and through your thighs.<\/p>\n
f) Feel the relaxation run up through your body and into your shoulders.<\/p>\n
g) It runs down your arms and into your hands.<\/p>\n
h) Wriggle your fingers and then hold them perfectly still.<\/p>\n
i) Move your head gently from side to side to relax your neck muscles, relax your face. Place your tongue on the bottom of your mouth and behind your teeth.<\/p>\n
j) Remain perfectly still and stay there as long a time as you wish to relax.<\/p>\n
Understanding the feeling of relaxation will allow you to ask for them when you find there is the need and after just a few short weeks of following this routine method, you will be able to find the feelings, which allow you to overcome stress.<\/p>\n
You should practise daily and stay in \u201crelax mode\u201d for up to 20 minutes per session.<\/p>\n
A relaxed mind is a controllable mind and this is only available in partnership with a relaxed body.<\/p>\n
Be relaxed, be patient, be tolerant, be a winner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
