The Importance Of Relaxation
By Jo Watt
There are so many ways we can relax.
Relaxation is super important as it helps us get out of fight/flight mode and reduce stress, it helps us to keep focused, it calms our nervous system and helps us to still our mind and body.
Here are 9 Ways You Can Relax:
Take slow, deep breaths. This helps calm our thoughts and take us back to the present moment.
Soak in a warm bath. Visualise all the stress melting off your body & going down the drain.
Listen to soothing music. This is a favourite of mine to help me chill.
Practice mindful meditation. The more we become present, the more we relax into the present moment and become more aware of our surroundings.
Write. This is another favourite thing I like to do by getting lost in imagination. Colouring in Mandalas is also another great form of mindfulness and relaxation.
Use guided imagery. Listen to a guided meditation and visualise your safe place that makes you feel calm and relaxed. When you need time out, you can always go back to this place.
Time in Nature. This is another great way to ground yourself, get some air between your ears, and soak in the earthy energies that naturally calm you down.
Pat a pet. For me I love spending time with my pets. They are naturally mood boosting and offer unconditional love. They are great stress busters!
Light a candle or put some essential oils in the diffuser. These are great for helping us relax.
There are so many ways you can relax. All you have to do is find one that works for you.
