Relax all the time. About relaxation

Probably, everyone heard the expression "If you want to live - know how to spin!" This is the motto of those who want to succeed in this world - to earn as much money and fame as possible. However, only a few are aware of the fact that from such a “rotation” one can lose all strength and health. Especially if a person does not know how to relax after work, or does not understand why this should be done.

But timely rest is the key to success. Believe me, any sane psychologist will confirm this. So let's talk about what to do if you are tired: how to relax quickly? What techniques to use? But what exactly should be avoided?

This crazy world

Begin with a small rhetorical digression. We all know that in the modern world it is necessary to be better than others in order to defend one's place under the sun. Indeed, fierce competition reigns in almost all areas, which pushes people to constant competition. Note that this is quite normal, since it was the predisposition to competition that allowed a person to win the interspecific evolutionary race.

However, this does not mean that constant competition will lead a person to a better future. For any battle, strength is needed, otherwise it will be lost in advance. Alas, our body and consciousness cannot be in constant tone - they need rest to recharge. Speaking in the language of metaphors, a person can be compared with an engine. If you constantly use it at full capacity, then it will quickly break down and will no longer be able to benefit.

That's just, unlike a machine, a living organism after a “breakdown” will not be so easy to repair, and sometimes it’s completely impossible. Therefore, the first thing people should realize is the fact that they all need a good rest. And it doesn’t matter how much they want to get another increase or achieve their goals.

Fatigue: what does it happen?

Before you learn how to relax, you need to find out that there are two completely different types of fatigue: physical and mental. The first is characteristic of those who work with their hands, and the second is characteristic of intellectuals. In addition, in some people, these two types of exhaustion coexist, since the specifics of their work leads to this. For example, the profession of a dough mixer includes both great physical exertion and a constant concentration of attention.

But back to our topic. The bottom line is that you can not remove both fatigue in the same way. After all, that which helps with physical exhaustion is not always suitable for raising morale. Therefore, let us first consider those methods that allow the body to relax, and then move on to those that soothe the soul.

30 minutes of calm

All of us, going home after a hard day, think about how to relax and put ourselves in order. At such moments, it seems that your body is about to stop moving and simply fall to the ground with a dead weight. We think that now we will be well understood by those who work from morning to night in manufacturing and are engaged in heavy physical labor. And the only thing you want on such days is to fall into a warm bed and fall asleep until the next morning.

Alas, such bliss is available only to units. After all, once you get home, a whole mountain of everyday duties falls on us.

Therefore, most people returning home, first of all begin to customize household chores. And this is their mistake. Due to such actions, our body is subjected to great stress, because in fact it is notified that it does not deserve rest. And believe me, this turn of events is clearly not to his taste.

Therefore, relaxation experts advise you not to rush into homework. Take a break first. For example, 30-40 minutes of simple idleness on the couch will allow the body to replenish some of the lost strength. In addition, our body will understand that the work is far behind and now you can calm down.

Eat right

Before learning to relax, a person must understand one important thing: any work consumes energy. The more forces we spend, the less they remain in our “tank”. And more importantly, it is impossible to rest normally, having an empty reserve. Therefore, the right diet is the key to a good day.

Thus, an ideal option would be a small snack immediately after the end of the working day. Moreover, if the change was very difficult, it is best to eat in a restaurant or cafe. Firstly, you don’t have to spend any energy on cooking dinner, and secondly, the relaxed atmosphere of such establishments helps you quickly forget about problems and troubles.

What is also important is what we eat. According to nutritionists, in the evening, snacks and fruits are best suited. This is due to the fact that they are full of carbohydrates, which are the ideal fuel for our body. The main thing is not to overdo it in food, otherwise you will have to think more about how to lose extra pounds.

Massage is the best medicine for the body.

How to relax your body after hard and exhausting work? Well, the most effective medicine is massage. It is he who allows you to relieve tension from the muscles, thereby leading a person to a state of nirvana. Therefore, if you feel that your body is on the verge, ask your soulmate to give you a general massage. Believe me, 10-15 minutes of bliss, and the body will again begin to obediently obey your orders.

However, how to relax if a person lives alone? In this case, there are two options: firstly, you can go to a special salon, and secondly, learn self-massage techniques. Naturally, the first method is more effective, but it requires money. The second one requires training, but at the same time allows you to master a skill that will always remain with you.

What is available to everyone ...

We live in a world where everyone has a hot shower or bath. Alas, only a few know that warm water relieves physical fatigue well. And this is the best solution for those people who do not know how to relax and calm down without leaving home.

In addition, the effectiveness of this procedure can be increased by adding mineral salts to the water. They will not only relieve fatigue from the muscles, but also give the skin a glow. Thus, you can relax well and take care of your health.

The danger that lies behind the congestion of the nervous system

Unfortunately, in our country, many of the advice from a psychologist remains out of sight of ordinary people. But it is these specialists who most of all warn about how dangerous psychological overwork at work can be. For example, did you know that a lack of positive emotions inevitably leads to depression? And she, in turn, is a complex psychological disease that is quite difficult to cure in the later stages?

Therefore, everyone should know how to relax emotionally and put their thoughts in order. Fortunately, today there are many techniques and techniques that can help in this. So, let's talk about how to relax and calm down in those days when it seems that the whole world has taken up arms against you.

No thoughts about work

The problem with most people is that they cannot give up thoughts of work. Even while outside the office or workshop, they are still mentally abiding in it. A string of images revolving in their heads associated with an unfinished report, offensive words from the director or an unsuccessful order. And it is precisely these thoughts that do not allow a person to tune in to rest, which is why the brain gradually begins to “boil”.

Therefore, if you do not know how to relax after a hard day, first of all, start by forgetting about it. Just throw it out of your head. Understand that today you will not be able to solve these problems, and therefore there is no reason to wind up yourself once again. Set a rule: decide all matters only during working hours, and devote all free minutes only to yourself and your family.

Add more colors.

How to relax if all life is a gray canvas? When the only entertainment after work is watching TV or monitoring social networks for many hours? If you really want to get rid of emotional fatigue, add bright colors to your life.

At the same time, you should not take this advice as a call to engage in extreme sports. No! You can get pleasure even without risking your own life. For example, go to the cinema or theater. Believe me, the world is full of interesting things that are worth your attention. This is especially necessary when the day turned out to be worse than ever.

Perhaps someone will say that this requires forces, which after work are very few. But the truth is that it would be much better to gather the will into a fist and go to unwind in the park, rather than feel sorry for yourself and suffer the whole evening from bad thoughts in your own apartment. Just catch yourself thinking that time is fleeting, and therefore it must be spent with maximum benefit for yourself.

You are not alone!

Another little trick is that it is best to relax with friends or in a circle of close people. After all, it is communication that helps a person to forget about his problems, work and even about fatigue. Therefore, if you are defeated, call someone and arrange a joint walk.

At the same time, it does not matter where the meeting takes place: in a bar, park, pizzeria, by the fountain or at home. The main thing is that the people around you bring you happiness. However, remember that on such days it is better to avoid those friends who like to complain about their lives. Otherwise, you will not be able to relax, as the problems of others will only aggravate the situation.

What is meditation?

Previously, only the sages of the East were dedicated to the secrets of meditative techniques. And although today the veil of secrecy has subsided, people still do not use this amazing technique. The thing is that they simply do not believe in its relaxing power or they lack the patience to master it. But it is she who is the best way to relieve both mental and physical stress.

Therefore, if you have very hard work, do not be lazy and learn at least the simplest form of meditation. Believe me, this will not take much time, but the effect of this will exceed all your hopes and expectations.

What should not be done, or How to relax without bad habits?

In conclusion, let's talk about what should not be done. To begin with, many do not know how to relax without alcohol. For some reason, our country has the wrong opinion that this particular drink is the best way to relieve mental and physical fatigue. However, any doctor will say that this is not so.

Indeed, in fact, alcohol only overloads the body, not allowing it to move away from daytime stress. Thus, instead of relaxing, a person receives another test, after which he will feel even worse. Therefore, on such days it is better to protect yourself from alcohol, leaving it until better times.

Instead, switch to fresh juice. It will not only allow you to replenish the supply of strength, but will also lift your mood due to those vitamins that it contains. In addition, an excess of juice in the body does not lead to an acute headache in the morning, which is also pleasant.

It turns out that mental activity cannot tire a person. Our brain can just as actively and quickly work at the end of an 8, 10 or even 12-hour working day. Our brain does not get tired at all ...

But, many will say: “At the end of the day I feel tired!”

How to relax Imagine yourself as an old toe

Research by scientists in this area suggests that

“One hundred percent of the fatigue of a mental worker is caused by psychological factors or emotional factors.”

And what factors lead to the fact that a person feels like a “squeezed lemon” or a car without a battery?

The main causes of mental fatigue are anxiety, tension, emotional discomfort. Even when it seems that the cause of fatigue is mental or physical work, these three factors are at the core.

It is important to remember that a tense muscle cannot rest.

And we strain when we write articles, answer calls, balance information, on planning meetings, when discussing tasks with colleagues, with partners, and when presenting goods to customers.

Relax

Take a break.
  Now.
  Pay attention to your condition.
  Are eyebrows mixed in readings? Or are you frowning?
  Is there any strain in the eyes? In the muscles of the face?
  Do you feel the numb muscles of your neck, back?

Without relaxing, in a state of "compressed spring" a person creates nervous and muscle tension. So he forms a nervous tension and nervous fatigue.

For what reason do we ourselves cause these extra stresses during mental work?

It seems to me that this was laid in childhood. When a child is taught to do something, they create an understanding in him that any action requires tension or nothing will work.

Therefore, we move our eyebrows, frown, tighten our neck, hunch when we do important work, and focus. Subconsciously believing that these muscle efforts will lead to the desired result, help the brain to be more efficient.

But on the contrary, muscle clamps uselessly waste energy and cause fatigue. Or in short, our "fuel warms the street."

How to stop heating the street? How to use energy for your own purposes?
  How to avoid nervous fatigue?

The answer is obvious - and relax. Relax your muscles while doing intellectual work.

How to do it?

To change. This is not easy, because we have done this all our previous lives. Now the habit of straining needs to be replaced by a new habit. Habit relax.

Relaxation   starts with the muscles. Let's start with the eyes, they are most tense while reading. Sit back, close your eyes and mentally say, focusing on your eyes: "Rest calmly, rest calmly." Repeat this for a minute. Each time, your eyes will learn to relax faster and get rid of tension.

Do the same with the muscles of the face, neck, shoulders, limbs and the whole body.

An example that will help:

The famous novelist Vicky Baum tells how in childhood she met an old man who taught her one of the most important lessons in life.

Once she fell, planted her knees and bruised her wrists. The old man picked it up. Once he was a clown in a circus, and, brushing off her dress, he said: “You suffered because you do not know how to relax. Imagine that your body is as supple as a sock, like an old crumpled sock. Come, I will show you how to do it. ”

The old man showed Vicky Baum and other children how to fall, do somersaults and somersaults. And all the time he repeated: “Imagine that you are an old crumpled sock. Then you will definitely relax! ”

The relaxation method is good because you do not have to wait until the working day is over, when you get home, to your native armchair or sofa.

You can relax almost anywhere, anywhere: at work, in the cinema, in the queue, in the store, or like this:
  For example, at work from the middle of the day I already feel such a need and devote several minutes to relaxation. I feel like new.))

Relaxed   - the absence of any tension and effort. If it’s still difficult to learn how to relax a muscle, use the “paradoxical method” - mentally give the command a lot of tension and do it, and then relax: "Rest calmly."

Think about the pleasant. Imagine that with each exhalation, tension disappears from your body, everything unnecessary and negative, pure fresh healthy energy penetrates with each breath.

1. Relax at every opportunity.
  2. Work fruitfully and 100%, but at the same time take a comfortable position, relax the muscles that are not involved in the process.
3. Monitor your body throughout the day. Ask yourself questions 5-6 times a day: “Am I putting too much physical effort into my work? Am I straining muscles that are not involved in my actions? It will help you   acquire a new habit of relaxing.
  4. Summarize the day: “Am I tired today? If so, how much? If I’m tired (a), then not from hard mental work, but from the way it is done. ”
  Relax, and life will become more pleasant, joyful and more effective.

Today for you video Dance of the Soul.

  Good day dear readers!   In fact, this article is a logical continuation of the article - First of all, you need to understand that if a person relieved stress and emotional constriction, this does not mean that he relaxed properly and really calmed down emotionally. We will discuss the achievement of the state of inner Peace in a separate article, and now we will examine in more detail the methods of calming the mind (quenching emotions, etc.) and proper relaxation.

Relaxation   - This is a special comfortable state of a person’s body (his muscles) and his consciousness (emotional calm), which gives the maximum set of energy, restoration of structures of consciousness (psyche), as well as recovery of the physical body.

Example:   Proper meditation is the maximum relaxation of the muscles of the body and its organs, and the tranquility of consciousness. It is in meditation that a person gains maximum energy, reveals abilities, qualities, feelings, talents and more. etc. Also, a person who has mastered the skills of relaxation, initial meditation and energy gain can sleep a few hours less, because a half-hour energy intake in meditation can replace several hours of healthy sleep.

Learning to truly relax is the solution to two problems: A) Relieving muscle tension and emotional constriction. B) Calming the mind and achieving deep relaxation.

If a person has learned to relax and calm down purposefully, this almost 100% removes from his life and their consequences, destructive emotions, excessive overwork and excessive use of energy. It gives a set of energy, clarity of mind, growth of strength, efficiency, speed of recovery of the body and starts the mechanisms of self-healing.

When a person stops burning his energy with excessive tension, learns to relax and gain energy - all the best, good that is in the Soul of a person, in his potential, begins to unfold by itself.

Answer the following questions for yourself: would you like in 30 min. purposeful relaxation to be able to recover and rest, like in 5-6 hours of a good sleep? would you like 20 min. completely relieve emotional stress and stress? and in 10-15 minutes. remove overwork and fatigue?

If the answer is “Yes”, then master the techniques of relaxation!

How to learn how to relax and calm yourself?

Learning to relax is the development of management teams: logical, strong-willed and imaginative teams.

1. We master the ability to relieve muscle tension and emotional clamps. – .

2. We master commands to relax the body and calm the mind.

Step 1. We relax the body and muscles in parts. The position of the body is either lying down or sitting on a chair: the back is straight, with the crown reaching up, the chin is slightly inward, hands should be placed on your knees (it should be comfortable to relax, but your back should not be crooked). Eyes are closed, we move attention to the body, we feel the part of the body with which we work.

We say the commands to ourselves (but aloud), while paying attention to the right muscle or part of the body.

• Attention is transferred to the right leg, we felt it, the command “right leg is relaxed”, we repeat the command and execute it 3-5 times. Next, we pass our attention along the leg from the bottom up: “foot - relaxed”, “calves - relaxed”, “hips - relaxed” - 2 circles.
• We shift our attention to the left leg, we feel it, the command “left leg is relaxed”, we repeat the command and execute it 3-5 times. Next, we pass our attention along the leg from the bottom up: “foot - relaxed”, “calves - relaxed”, “hips - relaxed” - 2 circles.
• We felt the right hand, the command “right hand - relaxed” - repeat the command 3-5 times. We relax mentally - fingers of the right hand, hand, forearm, shoulder (2 circles).
• We turn our attention to the left hand “the left hand is relaxed” - we repeat the command 3-5 times. We relax the fingers of the left hand, hand, forearm, shoulder (2 circles).
• We shift our attention to the trunk, the commands - “pelvic muscles - relaxed”, “stomach - relaxed”, “chest - relaxed”, “lower back - relaxed”, “back - relaxed” - 3-5 laps.
• Attention - neck, the “neck - relaxed” command - 3-5 repetitions of the command.
• Head, commands: “face is relaxed”, “mouth, lips are relaxed”, “cheeks are relaxed”, “nose, nose wings are relaxed”, “eyes, eyelids, eyebrows are relaxed”, “forehead is relaxed”, “ the head is relaxed ”,“ purity, calmness, clarity in the head ”- we go through 2-3 circles.
• General commands: “legs are relaxed”, “hands are relaxed”, “head is relaxed”, “the whole body is relaxed”, “muscles are relaxed” - we go through 2-3 circles.

If everything is done correctly, you will practically cease to feel your body, this is a state of warmth, close to zero gravity, as if the body is dissolving into some kind of warm yellow energy. Stay in this special state of relaxation for 5 to 30 minutes. and you will feel a powerful surge of energy, psycho-emotional calm and recovery, as well as an improvement in mood.

Until you memorize and learn the commands and pronunciation sequence - print out the text of the commands for yourself, do relaxation while sitting down and spy on the commands with one eye (until you remember).

Step 2. Adding images, working with some chakras and deepening the meditative state.

Body position, as in step 1. Either lying down or sitting. If you quickly fall asleep while lying down, it is better to perform sitting relaxation. It is important not to fall asleep until you complete the entire cycle of commands so that your will and self-control fully work and control relaxation.

Read more about how to enter meditation in more detail in the article - in the “Introduction to Meditation” section. And now we will consider a shortened version of meditative relaxation and tranquility of consciousness, which will not require special esoteric knowledge from you, but will require only initial self-control, execution of commands and more or less normal work with images.

• Attention to the legs, commands: “legs are relaxed”, “leg muscles are heavy”, “heaviness” - we repeat commands 3-5 times.
• We shift our attention to the arms, the commands: “arms are relaxed”, “arm muscles are heavy”, “heaviness” - repeat 3-5 times.
• Attention to the body, commands: “body - relaxed”, “pelvis, back, stomach, chest - relaxed”, “body muscles - heavy”, “heaviness” - 3-5 times.
• We transfer attention to the neck and the head, the commands: “neck, face, mouth, nose, eyes, forehead - relaxed”, “face - relaxed”, “light in the eyes”, “a light pleasant smile on the face, like a Buddha” , “Purity, calmness, clarity in the head” - we go through 2-3 circles.
• We distribute attention evenly throughout the body, the commands: “body - relaxed”, “muscles - heavy”, “heaviness”, “muscles - sagged, limp” - we go through 3-5 circles.
• Imagine how from the coccyx () pink light spreads throughout the body, through the muscles, we fill the body with pink light, the commands: “muscles are heavy”, “heaviness” - 3-5 times.
• Imagine how, from the region of the lower back (), orange light-fire spreads throughout the body except the head, the whole body is filled with heat, the commands “body - warm”, “heat”, “whole body - warm” - 5-7 circles. We speak commands slowly, in a warm, strong and velvet voice.
• Imagine how from the area of \u200b\u200bthe solar plexus (at the level of the spine) - a bright yellow light fills the stomach, and then spreads throughout the body, including the head and face, the commands: “belly is warm”, “warm”, “the whole body is warm” - go through the team 5-7 times.
• We distribute our attention throughout the body, the calming commands: “the body is relaxed”, “warm”, “consciousness is calm”, “rest” - we go 5-7 times.
• Imagine how a stream of white-gold Light with a diameter of 10-15 cm enters the crown from the center of the Universe and wave after wave fills the whole body: head, neck, arms, trunk, legs. With our attention we conduct Light from the top of the head to the toes and fingertips - 5-10 times. Fill yourself with light.
• We shift our attention to the center of the chest (near the surface,), imagine as if the sun is breaking out in the chest, a fireball 10-15 cm in diameter is lit, the light from it begins to fill the whole body, the command: “Light, Joy, Love - on lungs, over the whole body ”- repeat 10-15 times.
• Further, the light from the inside begins to go beyond the boundaries of the body in all directions, the shape and boundaries of the body dissolve and disappear, the commands: “I am Light”, “I am growing Energy” - 5-10 times.

Letting go of our consciousness, attention, we feel how Light enters and grows, Energy, an inner smile, like a Buddha’s, we absorb energy in our soul and body, we grow. We stay in this state for at least 5 minutes, preferably 15-20-30 minutes.

How to relax without alcohol?

It is considered deceptive to say that I relax with the help of alcohol. In principle, in small quantities, alcohol gives relaxation, but in practice, alcohol does not relax, because after a stressful situation, a person trying to relax with alcohol, most often after the first glass, already reaches for the second and subsequently - severe alcohol intoxication, and this will only aggravate stress, and give the opposite reaction, a person becomes irritable and nervous.

How to relax after stress?

If something happened in your life and your body experienced stress, what should you do in such a situation? When common sense flies out of your head, when you yourself do not understand what is happening around. Naturally, at the time of stress and for several minutes, hours after it, a person does not think about how to avoid a stressful situation or how to calm himself. The nervous system is overstrained. In such situations, people behave differently. More often they lock themselves in, they think and do nothing.

What do we have to do? The first is to rid yourself of thoughts. Do something. Go, walk around the city, take a contrast shower, go to the gym, tell the situation to a loved one. Do something - do not lock yourself. After you have done something, a few hours will pass and the stressful situation will no longer seem so shocking. When your brain is freed from unnecessary thoughts, it will begin to work and look for ways to solve the problem.

It is impossible to rid oneself of life in general from stressful situations. And why? In minor stressful situations, we think better, find ways to get out of this situation. That is, stressful situations help a person. But how you perceive stressful situations is another matter. No need to try to escape from stressful situations, because running away is already stress. You just need to start perceiving the world not from the black side, but from the white. Look at him from the other side, as an optimist. Know that everything that is not done is done for the better.

The ability to relax is a guarantee of our calm state. By disposing of it correctly, a great many problems can be solved. Anyone should knowif he wants to succeed. It does not matter what he sees as success - his own quiet life or financial well-being. Be sure to be able to urgently restore spiritual harmony, otherwise there will be troubles that could have been avoided.

Very rarely, the state of overvoltage goes away by itself. It can be easily distinguished by certain signs, for example, attentiveness is lost, there is a strong weakness, it is impossible to concentrate. Modern man is forced to look for suitable techniques in order to again control himself.

Those who often find themselves in this condition can tell a lot about these unpleasant consequences. The whole body, in general, responds to stress. Not only the emotional component suffers. The quality of sleep worsens significantly, the feeling of fatigue never goes away, a bad mood seems to be something natural, interest in something is lost. But there are ways to help deal with these problems in a fairly short amount of time.

The following exercises are most effective:

1. Affirmations

Affirmations are a simple, very affordable way to relieve stress. They are used in stressful situations, when it seems that the discomfort will not go away, and in the initial stage, when the first signs of an impending problem appear.

• I am in harmony.
