I've Got Way Too Much Stress!
I need stress relief now...

A very effective 5 minute relaxation exercise for those on the go -

It’s time to tense up! Purposefully clench every muscle in your body, including your fists, abs, teeth, cheeks, shoulders, ears and even your toes!

Hold on to the tension for a full 10 seconds.

Slowly begin to release each muscle one at a time.

As you inhale think of joy, peace, love and friendship.

As you exhale think of those things that cause you stress, one at a time and just let them all go.

FYI: When you visualize the things that you love as well as what causes you stress and then associate that with relaxation breathing, you are cleansing your body of the negative and filling with the positive.

Looking for a good night’s sleep -

If you toss and turn at night, unable to empty from your mind, the contents of a busy day, this is a great relaxation exercise for you!

Bring a note book to your bedside.

Turn on slow, soft mood music.

Lie quietly and as thoughts come in to disturb your solace, write them all down.

When you are ready to fall asleep you will have “dumped” all of the noisy thoughts and clatter from your busy day that would serve to steal your sleep from you. Writing it all out helps you to empty your mind of it.

Reread all of your notes making a mental note to release all your cares down a sea of care. Envision each of your worries out on a raft about to hit the waterfall. Watch as the raft is eaten up by the falls and so goes your worries.

Return to your peaceful sleep listening to your peaceful music. You will fall asleep peacefully now.
