Thread: hard time relaxing

The #1 method that helps me relax is to try to focus on every muscle of my body, one by one, trying release any tension or discomfort.

For instance I'll start with a toe, then do each of the other toes, then move on to one foot at a time, each ankle, each leg, and so on.

I adjust in bed if I realize I'm in a position that doesn't allow a muscle to fully relax. It's best if you don't rush the process.

By the time I get all the way up to my forehead I feel like a blob of jello and totally calm.
