PRACTISE CONSCIOUS RELAXATION
It is equally important to get adequate rest and relaxation. However, this does not mean to sleep long hours and just lie in a bed or a couch aimlessly for hours together, doing nothing. Doing so only makes you lazy and lethargic and makes it even more difficult to get back to a disciplined routine. The technique of conscious relaxation helps you to not only relax but also improves your concentration thus keeping you alert and aware at all times.
These practices also induce a good night’s sleep, which is essential for everyone to lead to a healthy and stress-free life. One such technique of conscious relaxation is Nispandhbhava which involves taking a comfortable position, closing your eyes and passively directing your attention to the various sounds around you, without application of any emotion or judgement.
This technique has the ability to immediately calm you down and helps in relieving undue stress and anxiety. Another technique of conscious relaxation that you can practice is Shavasana. This technique involves progressive relaxation of each and every part of the body beginning from your toes and moving upwards towards your head. This technique lightens your body and completely relaxes each and every part of it.
