Realization is really important for your physical and mental health. The more you are able to relax, the less likely you are to suffer from stress, depression, insomnia, and a whole host of other health issues.
But sometimes, you just don’t have the time to relax, right? Wrong! If you have even a few minutes to spare, you have a few minutes to relax.
If that sounds too good to be true, check out these effective ways to relax fast:
1. Drink A Cup Of Green Tea
Green tea is packed with L-Theanine a chemical that has been shown to aid relaxation in humans. It also tastes great and can protect your skin from the sun’s UV rays, which is why you should definitely consider switching your morning coffee for a cup of green tea instead.
2. Diffuse Soothing Essential Oils
It takes just a couple of seconds to pour a few drops of your favorite essential oils into a diffuser but the effects of breathing in that lavender or chamomile or sweet orange oil can last for hours, so make sure you always have the most relaxing essential oils close by if you want to stress less and relax more.
3. Meditate
If you’ve been avoiding taking up meditation because you think you need to spend hours with your eyes closed, then you’ll be pleased to know that you can learn to meditate in as little as 5 minutes per day, and doing so will help you to relax, stress less, boost your mood and simply enjoy life more, so what are you waiting for?
4. Stretch
When you are feeling stressed, try getting up from your desk and stretching for a few minutes. This might be a simple wellness technique, but it can really help your body to relax and when your body is relaxed, your mind is more likely to follow suit.
5. Eat A Piece Of Dark Chocolate
Next time you need to relax in a hurry, eat a square or two of dark chocolate. This will give help to calm you down and boost your brain too, so it’s ideal for those moments when you are really flagging at work and need a healthy pick-me-up.
6. Put Your Head Between Your Legs
This may sound strange, but it has been shown that placing your head lower than your heart is a good way to reduce stress and quickly calm you down, especially when it is accompanied by long slow breaths. It’s particularly good for when you’re panicking, but even if you just want to relax a little, it can help a lot too.
7. Visualise
Visualizing yourself on a desert island with the sun warming your skin or in a warm pool of water with the sound of birds overhead is a great way to calm your system and relax in a hurry.
As you can see, it really is possible to fit relaxation into even the busiest of days and you owe it to yourself to do just that.
