One of the most difficult things to do is relax. Think about it, you can get angry at the drop of a hat, you can become nervous in a stressful situation, but how do you relax?

One way, one expensive way, is to take a long vacation away from stress. But on a day-to-day basis, I have a couple of suggestions:

  1. First, try deep breathing. You can do this at work and no one will notice. Breathe from the diaphragm and breathe in and out slowly.
  2. Another technique is progressive deep muscle relaxation, alternately tense and then release groups of muscles through out the body. This works well if you think you are tensed you can do it once and again and again and again. Literally it can be done everyday or several times a day and remember you can do it at work and it gives you a feeling that you are one up on everybody else.

I am Dr Brian McDonald.
