Progressive Relaxation

Relaxation could mean different things to different people. It is important to know which activities relax you; to some it could even be work while to others it could be a vacation. People often confuse relaxation with specific activities such as meditation or yoga or deep breathing but it is certainly much more than just that. Think of activities that would improve your day everyday!

Massages

Self massaging the temples and jaw muscles can provide muscle relaxation and also induce endorphin releases.
