“Sometimes the most productive thing you can do is relax." ~Mark Black
When stress builds up, it creates tension in your muscles.
One way to relax is through progressive muscle relaxation (PMR).
This technique involves tightening and relaxing different areas of your body in a specific sequence.
It helps you become more aware of what tension feels like so you can then release it.
With regular practice you may:
sleep better
feel more energetic
reduce pain
ease anxiety
Try it next time you're feeling upset or unable to fall asleep. PMR activates your body’s parasympathetic rest and digest response.
When your muscles are fully relaxed, it’s easy for your body to drift into deep restorative sleep.
All the best,
