Relax and soothe yourself
Learning to relax and soothe yourself is very important for
many reasons. When you are relaxed, your body feels better. It also functions
in a healthy way. In a state of relaxation, your heart beats more slowly and
your blood pressure is reduced. Your body is no longer in a state of constant emergency,
preparing to either confront a stressful situation or run away from it. As a
result, it is easier for your brain to think of healthier ways to cope with
your problems.
Included here are some simple relaxations and soothing
activities that are meant to bring you a small amount of peace in your life.
1.
Burn scented candles or incense in you room.
2.
Find a place that is soothing for you to look
at, like a park or a museum.
3.

4.
Listen to music.
5.

makes you feel worse, don’t do it. Try something else. And remember, each one
of us id different. As you explore this
list, think about what works best for you and be willing to try something new
if it sounds exciting.
