The Benefits of Relaxation
There are many benefits to learning relaxation techniques. The most important one is to control or release stress. Every life has stress in it. Some stress is even positive: exercise is stress that helps to build bones and muscle. Imagine a life with only positive stress!
Relaxation has so many positive benefits to add to your health and life. Finding that peace within yourself can help you find peace on the outer as well. Being able to cope with those annoying situations and people in your life and just letting them be rather than internalizing and causing problems.
Ever find yourself on the spot trying to remember a fact or name? Learning a couple of relaxation techniques aids in memory retrieval. The give and take from the subconscious flows so much easier when you are relaxed.
Are you one of the people who gets uptight about taking tests? Studies show that taking tests under the same conditions you studied in is the ideal. Remember those study sessions with your friends in college? Think they would let you bring that bottle of baby duck into the exam room?
Learning to relax during study and test taking allows the facts you learned during class and study to tumble out as and when needed! Relaxation enhances focus, concentration and memory. Ace classes from now on!
Learning to relax can also enhance your imagination. Get in touch with the creativity you never knew you had! Using guided imagery, a form of meditation, to visualize your goals will help you make them more real. Giving you an opportunity to create solutions to achieve these goals. Seeing what you want in your life will help you make it real. Live a life where only positive stress counts and achieve your goals creatively.
Relaxation combined with visualization or guided imagery can be learned easily from an expert. Take the skills home and apply them to all aspects of your life. Imagine being more relaxed and focused in your relationships, on the job, and in school. Applying the techniques to your favourite activities can enhance the enjoyment of your rest and recreation time.
RELAX into a healthier way of being!
