At Home or Work Relaxing Techniques

Today many of people feel lost with all the stresses of everyday life and situations at home.  There is so much to do in one day.  You think to yourself when am I going to have to get everything done!  The everyday routine takes a toll on the human body.  Average routines consist of getting up, making breakfast, getting the kids to school, work 9-5, cook/eat dinner, then the day is over!  Trying to squeeze in other activities is just brutal which causes many headaches...

Sometimes you just need to relax.  Sitting at work I sometimes take breaks to relax, mainly every couple hours taking 10 to 15 minutes mind relaxer.  Here are some of the things I have found very helpful. 

1) Tilt head back and look at ceiling.  Close your eyes and focus on breathing.  Inhale and exhale concentrating on every breath.

2) Another breathing exercise I found very relaxing is breathing in then holding it in for 5 seconds.  Then exhale for another 5 seconds.

3) Rub temples and imagine a place you would love to visit or be at.

4) Stand up and do some stretches.  Reach for the sky, bend down touch toes, or swift side to side.

Try these out and see if they help out and relax you. I know they have and it has improved in my moods and overall happiness.
