Stress Management

"Relaxation techniques: Try these steps to reduce stress!
Relax. You deserve it, it's good for you, and it takes less time than you think.
For many of us, relaxation means zoning out in front of the TV at the end of a stressful day. But this does little to reduce the damaging effects of stress. To effectively combat stress, we need to activate the body's natural relaxation response. You can do this by practicing relaxation techniques such as deep breathing, meditation, rhythmic exercise, and yoga. Fitting these activities into your life can help reduce everyday stress, boost your energy and mood, and improve your mental and physical health.
Stress management helps you to avoid stressful situations, while relaxation training teaches you how to remain calm and quiet in the midst of stress.
Stress management helps you to avoid the stressors or triggers in your life that you can avoid, and minimises or manages your reactions to the stressors you can’t avoid.
Relaxation training helps you to learn to keep your mind, emotions and body quiet or silent in order to optimise your efficiency, energy resources and enjoyment of the present moment.
Relaxation techniques help you to access your own inner peace at any time when you need it. These techniques increase your self awareness and also teaches you how to use your energy efficiently during a stress reaction, rather than wasting energy on tense muscles and the over-arousal of your nervous system.
Relaxation techniques can reduce stress symptoms and help you enjoy a better quality of life, especially if you have an illness. Explore relaxation techniques you can do by yourself.
