5 Proven Relaxation Techniques for Stress Management

We all have our own way to reduce stress and anxiety in our own lives, but are popular ways to the stress you can try to use, reduce to improve your well-being.

YOGA

Practicing yoga is a great way to relieve stress. It is particularly so for an hour or half past one window, enter the day to escape, roll your yoga mat and enjoy a moment outdoors. Links to all yogic breathing, body and spirit to help you stay present and focused.

HIKING

Another way to reduce stress and anxiety is on foot. The Sunshine Coast has many beautiful hiking trails to discover, by the sea or inland. Outside in nature is so relaxing and recharging your energy level. Take a few deep breaths and enjoy the surroundings. If you are in the countryside, you can focus your voluntary (where your mind focused on one thing in particular) involuntary (where you can watch what is happening around you, without changing focus on a particular thing).

Sunshine Coast beach slopes try foreshore reserve Currimundi National Park, Noosa and Sunshine Coast Coastal Pathway (Point Cartwright to Kawana, Warana in Currimundi, Caloundra and Currimundi Caloundra Golden Beach). Sunshine Coast forest trails try Buderim Forest Park, Kondalillia Falls (Montville) and Mary Cairncross Scenic Reserve (Maleny). Really spoiled for choice!

MEDITATION

Meditation is a good way to relieve stress. When we meditate our body in the opposite direction when we are stressed. Our decrease in heart rate, we begin to take on nice deep breath, we are quiet and peaceful and are able to erase from our minds.

LISTEN to RELAXING MUSIC

Another simple way to reduce stress and anxiety is to listen to relaxing music. The next time you come home, you choose a piece of music that is relaxing for you. Sit back and relax. This is especially useful if you have children. See how your mood changes by household type of music you play.

MASSAGE

Finally, a really nice way to reduce stress massage. Massage reduces stress hormones in the body, relaxes the muscle fibers and stimulates the lymphatic system, which is the first line of defense against the disease in your body. Massage calms the nervous system by the brain chemicals called endorphins - natural painkillers and mood enhancers. No wonder so feel good after a massage!
