Great And Rewarding Ways To Calm Your Nerves - By: Richard Achen

Knowing a couple relaxation techniques can save your life, because stress is more than just uncomfortable it's also bad for your health. Disciplined practices such as palates can help relieve that stress, but what if you don't have the time? Perhaps you need to try a few of these simple ways to calm your nerves.

1. Give somebody a big, comforting hug. Hugging usually entails getting a hug in return..and there is nothing more calming than being in someone Else's arms.

2. Do it differently. Go talk to someone you usually don't i.e. a member of the maintenance staff, or eat lunch on the roof. Just doing anything that breaks the monotony of your normal behavior can lower your blood pressure.

3. Give yourself a warm bath. It calms your muscles, and gives you a break from those more stressful activities. Some find that an alternating hot and cold shower is even more soothing.

4. Try paying close attention to your thoughts. Spot those nasty thoughts that lurk just below the surface (hunger, worry, a phone call you need to make) and you can resolve them and feel more relieved. If you practice this mindfulness exercise, it may become one of your favorite nerve calming techniques.

5. Try laughing. The best way that I have found is to stand in front of a full length mirror, stark naked! That always gives me a good laugh; especially first thing in the morning. Just ensure it is a good 'belly laugh', one that makes your sides hurt and you become short of breath. Not only will you be relaxed but it burns calories too!

6. Relax to music. Keep your favorites at the office, in the car, or wherever you'll need it most. Music can calm that savage beast that is found in all of us. Choose the tunes that bring up happy thoughts and use those to help you.

7. Exit the room for a while. This can really help if the things in the room or related to it are triggering your stressful thoughts. Why not remove yourself for a little while? Just remember to not slam the door after you!

8. Breath deeply. Try taking five deep breaths through your nose. Close your eyes and pay attention only to your breathing while doing this. It's like a mini-meditation, and might be the most effective of the quick relaxation techniques.

9. Hydrate yourself with something decaffeinated. Caffeine is a stimulant and brings on a rapid heartbeat and increased mental stimulation. This can promote feelings of stress and anxiety.

10. Get out and about. If you have at least ten minutes to spare, going for a walk is one of the best relaxation techniques. While you're at it, admire the view or go and talk to that person in technique 2.

11. Take off your shoes. Remember that scene in Pretty Woman where Richard Gere took his shoes and socks off. That reconnection with Nature has a remarkable effect.
