Fantastic And Rewarding Ways To Calm Your Nerves

A few good relaxation techniques can save your life, because stress is more than just unpleasant it’s also not healthy. Disciplined practices such as yoga can help relieve that stress, but what if you aren’t motivated? Maybe you need to try a few of these simple ways to calm down.

1. Give someone a big, comforting hug. Hugging usually entails getting a hug as well..and there is nothing more relaxing than being in someone else’s arms.

2. Do it in a different way. Go do somethingyou usually don’t i.e. a member of the maintenance staff, or eat lunch on the grass. Just doing anything that breaks the monotony of your normal behavior can lower your blood pressure.

3. Have a long hot bath. It relaxes your muscles, and gives you a break from those more stressful activities. Some find that an alternating hot and cold shower is even more soothing.

4. Try ‘watching’ your thoughts. Spot those ‘nasties’ that lurk just below the surface (hunger, worry, a phone call you need to make) and you can resolve them and feel more calmed. If you practice this thoughtfulness exercise, it may become one of your favorite stress relieving techniques.

5. Try laughing. A great way for most people is to stand in front of a full size mirror, stark naked! That always gives me a good laugh; especially first thing in the morning. Just ensure it is a good ‘belly laugh’, one that makes your sides hurt and you become short of breath. Not only will you be relaxed but it burns calories too!

6. Listen to music. Keep your favorites at the office, in the car, or wherever you’ll need it most. Music can calm that pile of nerve endings that is inside of all of us. Choose the tunes that bring up happy memories and use those to help you.

7. Leave the room for a while. This can really help if the things in the room or related to it are bringing on your stressful thoughts. Why not remove yourself for a little while? Just remember to not slam the door after you!

8. Breath deeply. Try five deep breaths through your nose. Close your eyes and pay attention only to your breathing while doing this. It’s like a mini-meditation, and perhaps the most effective of the quick relaxation techniques.

9. Enjoy drinking something decaffeinated. Caffeine is a stimulant and brings on a rapid heartbeat and increased mental stimulation. This can bring on feelings of stress and anxiety.

10. Leave the house. If you have at least ten minutes to spare, going for a walk is one of the best relaxation techniques. While you’re at it, enjoy the view or go and talk to that person in technique 2.

11. Remove your shoes. Remember that scene in Pretty Woman where Richard Gere took his shoes and socks off. That reconnection with Nature has a remarkable effect.
