🌿 Relaxation exercise for the body As soon as we are worried, we are strongly ...

... identified with our thoughts. All our energy is then in our head.
Our mind is brooding, thinking about the future or the past, looking for solutions.

In order to make well-considered decisions it is important to take a break and distance.

This gives us the chance to reassess a situation. To get more into our body is a good way to balance the energy in us. Progressive muscle relaxation can help us do this. With this relaxation method we can loosen tense muscles and even lower our blood pressure.

🌿 How you do the exercise :

Lie down for this exercise or sit comfortably on a chair. Tense all the large muscles of your body at the same time. This can feel very unfamiliar and tiring at first. Try to build up tension, also in your face. Crumple it up as if you had just bitten a lemon. Now take a deep breath, feel the tension and then give yourself the signal inside to let go. Let your breath escape in a loud sigh. Now relax all your muscles. If you have some time, go with your attention once through your whole body and consciously relax every part of your body. Toes, relaxed...feet, relaxed...ankles, relaxed...Keep doing this until you reach the crown of your head.

🌿 Feel the relaxation and you will notice how your thoughts rearrange themselves. Have fun trying it out.
