How to learn to relax
How I did it: After trying any number of things in an effort to learn to relax, I was fortunate to find a fit in yoga. For me, yoga calms my mind and relaxes my body like nothing else I've tried.
Lessons & tips: My tip is to keep trying new strategies, even things you might never have considered in the past. There is not one thing that will work for everyone.
Resources: I used the internet and the public library to inform myself about my choices when I was forming my strategy.

I’ve been able to start this without even knowing it. I find myself being able to stay still or just sit in one place for longer than 5min, without even telling myself to try and relax.

Still need work on this. I can’t be still. Please learn to relax.
Bellydancing, meditation, yoga, controlled breathing, lying in a dark room listening to music with a beverage of some kind.
These are my ideas. Biggest problem is I never allow myself time to relax.

Rediscovering my `good old hobby` which was bellydancing lowered my level of stress. I`m slowly learning not to think about my work/inventing problems all the time and focus on some more relaxing things. I`ve signed up for the upcoming bellydance worshops – March 7 & 8th – perspective of 4 hours with arabian music and REALLY fantastic, optimistic girls from my group makes me smile everytime I think about it:) Just can`t wait for the weekend!

I still hope to be able to do this every day. I want to be able to relax and read my book for more then 10min or be still for more then 5min… but most of all I wish I could relax enough to sleep more then 3hrs. I can’t take the sleeping pills anymore, so I need to know how to relax real soon or life will become hard.

I told myself that I would take a lunch break everyday a full hour. Today I could not make myself relax enough in order to sit and read my book for an hour! I want to relax and learn how to enjoy time/ life/ not always feel that I have to be doing something.
Meditation, play piano/guitar, listen to music. Get a “space” sorted out. Maybe try some yoga/tai chi.

I had a hard time doing this last night. I started feeling like I did when I would get panic attacks… but I did not let it consume me.
