Take a pause in your day to focus on relaxation: learn Progressive Muscle Relaxation, an easy to learn method to become more aware of your body and to release any tensions or stress that has built up. Once you know how to consciously choose relaxation, you can do this practice whenever you notice you’re feeling tense.
