Thank you for the reminder on relaxation..I have not been paying attention to my inner needs lately and have been feeling myself start to spiral down again lately..I had forgotten how important it is to take time out each day for relaxation..It is in the back of my mind at times but I just don't seem to get there.. Now that you have brought it up to the forefront I can see that I need to start setting time aside to relax each day..This should help....I think?
Relaxation is very important in your everyday routine. Take regular, planned timeouts for yourself. Be realistic and honest, that inner regular need for a break to change your thoughts or environment and decompress at regular intervals should not be abandoned altogether, now should it?
Substitute a breathing exercise or something relaxing and self-loving when you feeling stressed. Listen to some music perhaps too, or just pick any form of relaxation, and do it for a couple of minutes each time, you may be pleasantly surprised at the results.
Practice relaxation techniques and adopt some into your routine. Successful people really do. Here’s a simple breathing exercise when you feel tense: With shoulders back and tummy in, inhale deeply for a slow count of five; exhale for a slow count of five. Do five of these at a time. This gives your body a break and re-boosts you!
You can also use relaxation techniques before bed. Hot bath or shower, stretches, good book, warm drink and breathing exercises can assist you in having a more restful sleep and have you wake refreshed for the next day. Studies show that at least 7 hours of sleep is needed to keep you on track and focused, so keep that routine and get your 7 hours in!
