1. Breathing technique
- Start by acquiring a
position that is comfortable for you. Close your eyes, try to relax your body.
Inhale from your nose for 4 seconds. Then hold for 4 seconds. Exhale for
another 4 seconds, but through your mouth. Do this when you feel tense. You can
do these once a day – 4 to 10 breaths. (4 – 4 - 4 = 1)
2. Listen to music that makes you feel good
- Try different styles
and focus on what is your breathing – is it getting tense and shallow or more
relaxed and deep. Experiment until you find the right one. (For me it is
classical)
3. Go take a bath !
- Water always is a
great partner to calm and clear your thoughts. Having a bath is almost equal to
meditating. If you don’t have a bath, go for a shower.
4. Meditate once a day.
- Focus while
meditation on your breathing and just relax doing so. Maybe get a picture in
your mind of the things that make you feel good, or you already have and make
you happy.
5. Try green tea !
- It has unlimited
number of good qualities.
6. Exercise.
- Go to the gym and
burn off the stress. Or just go out for a walk. It will get your blood pumping
and make you feel good.
7. Clean your house !
- Make room for
something new, and throw away the old and broken stuff you have.
8. Make yourself an aromatherapy.
- Find the right
burning candles that make you feel good. Use the fragrances you like, light
them up, lay down and relax.
9. Go help a friend.
- We always have some
friends in need, now is the time to help them out, and in the same time feel
good about yourself.
