When it comes to unwinding after a long days work, many opt to head to the pub for a quick fix. Yes it's a quick fix which doesn't last very long, spending time with your mates may be fun and cocktails are fun too, but finding time to give your heart and brain a break is more important.
These 3 steps are perfect way to unwind, try them each day to reduce stress and tame tension.
Ten to 15 minutes of daily breathing practice by itself may help reduce cardiovascular disease risk by reducing blood pressure, relieving tension and easing the brain.The following are simple introductory breathing exercise.
1. Lie flat on your back and place one hand on your chest and the other on your abdomen. (you could use a small pillow or a folded towel)
2. Take 10 to 15 slow deep breaths. Expand your abdomen during inhalation and contract your abdomen during exhalation, keep the chest as still as possible through out the breath.
3. Pause for a couple of seconds between inhalation and exhalation.
