Advice
What They Says
” As important as it is to have a plan for doing work, it is perhaps more important to plan for rest, relaxation, self-care, and sleep” – Akiroq Brost.
Incorporating relaxation habits into our lives is important to cope with everyday stress and anxiety. Relaxation should be our natural state, since it helps us balance our body’s metabolism, respiration, heart rate and frees us from psychological and muscular tensions that accumulate over time.
The recommendation of the experts is to start by including some day-to-day practices that cause peace within the body, since these will help us feel better and over time they will become a habit that will help us to return our thoughts from the chaotic places to which you suddenly go.
Practices such as Mindfulness, Energy Skill (Chi Gung), Meditation etc work like exercise, doing it consistently helps us to generate a skill to stay in the present, try to get our head and thoughts to be where we want, in the here and now.
My workshops are aimed at helping you learn to implement relaxation techniques into your everyday lives to help you. I always recommend starting with clearing any muscular tension first, because if you are in pain or discomfort it is harder to feel relaxed.
My workshops help to eliminate muscle tension, promote recovery from fatigue, help you to rest, promote restful sleep, prevent stress, fatigue and insomnia, lower blood pressure, generate a feeling of well-being, help you improve self-esteem, reduce emotional stress, help the recurring of negative thoughts.
So where and how do you start?
Lots of you will not have a self-care plan in place and will wonder how to do this. Simply pick a day and time that you know you won’t be disturbed and write this in your diary or set an alarm on your phone. With this time take a look at your current habits, observe where you are now and how you feel. Identify your self-care needs which are all the things you do to take care of your well-being in four key dimensions – your emotional, physical, psychological, and spiritual health. Then choose to start working on any of these areas over the next year by actively learning about your needs and simple tools to support you.
Read over my workshop list and whatever shouts loudest to you is where you should start. Relieving muscular aches and getting a good night’s sleep is normally a good place to start with my workshops.
If you are completely stressed out then start with my Stress & Anxiety Rescue Spa workshop for one. This will help calm the body and mind before you start learning new relaxation skills. Ideal for when information overload occurs in life.
