Perform this muscle relaxation technique below

  • Loosen your clothing, take off your shoes, and get comfortable.

  • Take a few minutes to relax, breathing in and out in slow, deep breaths.

  • When you’re relaxed and ready to start, shift your attention to your right foot. Take a moment to focus on the way it feels.

  • Slowly tense the muscles in your right foot, squeezing as tightly as you can. Hold for a count of 10.

  • Relax your right foot. Focus on the tension flowing away and the way your foot feels as it becomes limp and loose.

  • Stay in this relaxed state for a moment, breathing deeply and slowly.

  • When you’re ready, shift your attention to your left foot. Follow the same sequence of muscle tension and release.

  • Move slowly up through your body, contracting and relaxing the muscle groups as you go.

  • It may take some practice at first, but try not to tense muscles other than those intended.

Have a wonderful day!
