How to DeStress with Progressive Muscle Relaxation

How to deStress with progressive muscle relaxation. In this video I teach you how to do progressive muscle relaxation.

Progressive muscle relaxation is a meditation technique used to reduce muscle tension. As you constantly hunch over a computer or text or your smartphone, you gradually accumulate muscle tension throughout the day. Often, you’re not even aware of the tightening of muscles. Instead, you may feel physically tired at the end of the day, even though you may not have done much in the way of physical exertion.

When our body muscles are tense, we tend to feel pain such as a sore neck or back. However, tension in the scalp or facial muscles may manifest as a headache, anxiety, or irritability.

Progressive muscle relaxation is a simple process of systematically tensing muscle groups and then relaxing them. It’s easier to relax a muscle if you tense it first.

So a way you would do this would be to start from one end of your body and work your way to the other end.
