More Relaxation Techniques - 31 Days of Mental Health

Описание: Even people without mental illness need to take time to relax. Life is so fast-paced and we have so much to think about and worry about. Therefore, we need to take the time to relax, lower our stress levels and take ourselves out of the Fight/Flight/Freeze response.

There is more to relaxation than breathing and in this video I will be sharing some other techniques that you an try. They include the following:

Autogenics
Progressive Muscle relaxation (The Body Scan)#
Meditation Visualisation
Massage
Tai Chi
Yoga
Music and Art
Aromatherapy
Hydrotherapy

Please share your experience of any of those if you have used them to help you to relax.

Thank you for taking the time to watch this - I hope to see you next time.

Please subscribe to my channel for more videos about mental illness and leave any questions or comments you may have in the space below.

Take care and I hope you have a safe, peaceful week.

As with all my videos, I'm trying to explain everything as clearly as possible and provide examples from my life to help you understand. I might not get everything right every time, but I wanted to give it a go, and I hope it will be of benefit to you. This Vlog is from my perspective, but I do appreciate that not everyone will have had the same experience as myself - we are all different after all. I have also tried, where applicable, to reference everything correctly, but we are all human and make mistakes - please stick with me.
