Tip:
"In order to work
more, learn to relax yourself. "
Friends
!
All of us should learn the
art of deep relaxation Most of us spend our day doing various kind of
physical and mental activities. As the day ends, most of us feel
exhausted with little or no energy. This repeated tiring routine
has become a part of our lives. However, by using right kind of
relaxation at right time, we can easily maintain an abundant flow of
energy, throughout the day and at the end of the day too we may remain
energetic. If we start
relaxing ourselves two-three times just for a few minutes in our working
hour, we can do more work with more energy and less exhaustion.
Here are two simple tips, which are highly effective and helpful.
(1) Make sure to take 7-9 hours regular sleep daily.
(2) Make sure to take 3-4 breaks during your working hour for relaxing your body and mind.
The above two tips can greatly help you to reduce the level of stress and tension from your life. Taking an uninterrupted sound sleep for 7-9 hour regularly is a habit which all of us should adopt. A sound sleep helps us revitalize our mental and physical energy and refresh us for the next day. Often these days, owing to our urban life styles, we seldom give a proper attention to this habit. There is no fixed time for going to bed thanks to the so-called necessary occupations of Television, movies, Internet, clubs and discos. However, if we want to really make our life less stressful and more relaxed, it is essential for us to adopt a rather prudent life style that includes a substantial time for complete rest.
Apart from taking 7-9 hour regular sleep at night, taking 3-4 breaks of five to10 minutes during our office hour is also an indispensable habit for taking the level of stress and tension to a minimum.
As we become more relaxed and energetic, we will be able to face various complex and complicated situations of routine matter with confidence and composure.
Relaxation
means to relax and to regain our lost energy. When you relax you
actually regain the energy for your body. It's my humble
advice to you that please make it a habit of taking two-three breaks
during your working our relaxation. Here is simple relaxation technique which
you can perform at your office.
Take
a break and sit comfortably on your chair. Relax your entire body by making
all the muscles relaxed and loose. Close your eyes and take some slow
and deep breath while focusing your attention on your belly as it comes
up and down during breathing. Keep breathing this way for few minutes.
Now imagine that a cold jelly like substance is entering inside you from
the head and is passing through your spine. Imagine that its
coolness ids spreading in your entire body and your body is cooling and
relaxing. Imagine that this jelly like substance comes out of your body
through your toes after cooling your entire body. Now surrender yourself
to the present moment. Let be in the flow. Don't try to control
anything. just be a witness. If thoughts come let them come. Don't try
to control them in any way. Just immerse in the present relaxing moment.
Be in this state for a few minute and then slowly slowly moves out of
this state. Close your eyes, give a little stretch to your body, take
few breath breath again and go to work again !!!
Above
is a very simple relaxation exercise that will take only 5-7
minutes to perform. You can do this 2-3 times a day and can remain
vibrant and energetic throughout the day. However, this is not the only
relaxing exercise. You can invent your own method of relaxation method
depending upon your circumstances and need. Even a nap of 20 minute (if
possible during our working hours) can work wonder for most of us. The
main thing is that you should never indulge in any kind of work constantly
and should always take some break between your work for relaxation.
