Daily worries, work taking, children in full adolescence, life can sometimes be tiring and even stressful.

1 - Letting go

Although this term may seem "boat", it is nevertheless crucial. On a day-to-day basis, we have become accustomed to managing several things at once: we ask our colleague questions while informing the client and being available by phone for example. Each job can generate stress and annoyance. The mind is always active and does not allow any rest: it is overwork. Letting go is trying to disconnect a few minutes of all these tasks in order to rest and become effective again. The following techniques are ideal for letting go.

2 - Breathe through the belly

Have fun taking a deep breath reading these lines and watching your body. If your ribcage has swelled, then it means you are not used to breathing in your stomach. However, breathing through the belly can achieve a high level of relaxation, provided you take the time to perform the exercise properly.

  • To breathe through the belly, simply inflate the lower belly to the inspiration (at the navel). The ribcage and shoulders do not move at all.
  • When exhaling, the belly deflates.
  • For smokers, quit smoking today and if it's impossible for you then move to vaping. Vaping has some undeniable health benefits and if you want to switch right now, better to get your vaping tank today.
  • Close your eyes and inhale gently through your nose.
  • When exhaling, gently blow through the mouth and imagine that you have a candle flame a few inches from your lips and you should not turn it off. Relax your shoulders and put yourself at ease, with your back straight.
  • Do 5 repetitions and open your eyes again. It only takes a few minutes and can greatly relax you!


3 - Ventilate the room

Being locked up all day in a sad, artificially lit room with no open windows can quickly make you dizzy. Make sure to air the room at least 10 minutes a day, even if it is cold. You will see that the outside air will do you the greatest good.

4 - Take breaks

Many employees make "cigarette breaks". If you do not smoke, take advantage of it to take "relaxation" breaks. Get up, and walk for a few minutes straight back, smiling. Relax your neck, stretch your arms and your back. Shake hands, feet, and if you can afford it, walk a few feet outside and look away. The days spent in front of screens are exhausting, think of resting your eyes while looking away!

5 - Imposing a 10-minute ride

In the morning, during the lunch break or in the evening, take a 10-minute stroll without a mobile phone. 10 minutes, it seems short, yet you will see that you will have plenty of time to change your mind. Look around, observe people or even better, observe nature if you can walk around and take the time to enjoy the beauty of life.

6 - Listen to classical music

Although for some it is important to keep abreast of the news, try from time to time to listen to classical music at home or when you go to work (car or public transport), have Spotify premium in your phone for the purpose. Watching the scenery, the edgy people driving them or the birds passing by your vehicle or even doing the dishes does not have the same taste when listening to classical music. Choose authors with cheerful and catchy music and impose 2 or 3 plays per week. You will see, the relaxing effect is almost immediate.

7 - Make mini-naps

We talk more and more about it: napping is the secret of rested brains. If you can not fall asleep easily, just close your eyes after settling in a quiet place and take the time to relax. As in meditation, you will remove negative thoughts by repressing them each time they approach your mind. Refuse to think about this or that, imagine a watercourse, a waterfall, children who bathe, forests that are full of delicious tropical fruits ... You can also think of a place that you particularly like: your favorite holiday destination , a place you loved, a place you found magical. Escape for 10 to 15 minutes to forget the worries of everyday life before opening your eyes. To renew without moderation.

8 - Relativising

We all tend to complain because of frustrations, however small they may be. Thus, it sometimes happens that we scream or we get angry after dropping a cup of coffee for example or have forgotten where we had put his keys. In this kind of case: relativize. It's not so bad. What will be the consequences ? Will they be so serious? At worst, you will "lose" 5 minutes cleaning the coffee or 5 additional minutes to search for your keys. Is your time so precious? Think of all those people who have "real" problems: imagine that they are watching you? What would they think of you? Re-la-ti-vi-sez.

9 - Get help

If you can not manage everything head on, maybe it's just because you've taken on too much responsibility. At home and at work, consider delegating. You can not do everything, so you have to get help and set up a chain of solidarity (this will also help others to be helped).

10 - Turn off all connected devices

From time to time, have fun turning off all the connected devices in the house and take the time to enjoy life as before. You may be going around in circles for a while, wanting to eat. Then you will observe what is happening around you. You may also take a book, a paper book (!) And take the time to read. What happiness.

11 - Massage once a week

Massage is also a great way to relax and soothe your body. One must have it once a month and even once a week isn't harmful at all. You can use massage chair to get a human like massage or a masseuse can also help in providing massage regularly.
