Total relaxation also makes the body less responsive to the stress hormone, adrenaline—this is exactly what the leading prescriptions that lower blood pressure do.
Stepping up to control your relaxation technique
•Try tense and release. Tightening the muscles in the body and then releasing them helps the body to relax.
•Try conscious breathing and meditation. When you are relaxed, your breathing reflects an emotional calm and indicates a state where attention can be focused. Disruptions of breath generally are associated with emotional or mental disturbances. For example, the more stressed you feel, the more shallow your breathing becomes. Conscious breathing can relieve tension, quiet fear, and relieve pain.
•Relax your facial muscles.
•Recordings of a favorite song or sound and listening to it in a quiet place can help you relax, sometimes instantly.
Professional Upkeep
Listen carefully to the signals your body sends you. Don’t ignore them. Get medical attention if you need help. Don’t treat your body as if it’s unimportant and can get by on zero maintenance. If you have an unattended ailment, get it taken care of immediately. Treat your body like the treasure that it is, and it will be a faithful servant during your continued quest for a happy, harmonious and loving lifestyle.
Some of you tend to fret over your health, and may be prone to schedule unnecessary visits to the doctor for professional reassurance. Some of you go to medical practitioners very matter-of-factly, to get business out of the way. Some of you make medical appointments because you enjoy the personal attention you get from a practitioner. Some of you avoid physicians because you think problems will go away on their own if you ignore them long enough. Use this knowledge to get rid of any roadblocks that are preventing you from making wise usage of available medical resources.
