We all have days when we wake up with insurmountable fatigueness and dread going to work. Mind and body go hand in hand for well-being. The best way to disassociate yourself from stress is to incorporate mindfulness practice into your daily life. Want to wake up every morning feeling refreshed and pumped? For starters, try the below relaxation techniques to achieve inner calm and peace of mind.
Practice Meditation 
Meditation doesn’t just help you get a better physique but also deepen the mind-body connection as it consists of a series of chant, meditation and breathing techniques that will help you find inner peace. Not sure where to start? Try the most simple forms, combine active movements and seated poses. It will also help you build endurance. If you want to deepen the body-mind connection, you can take your meditation to a tranquil nature setting to immerse yourself in the nature and indulge in the moment of solitude.
Mindfulness Meditation
Meditation is a means of transforming your mind. If your crazy work schedule doesn’t allow you to go to a yoga studio or retreat, then try a 15 to 20 minutes meditation everyday before you head out. Meditation mainly works wonder for your emotional well-being as it helps bridge the gap between your consciousness and subconsciousness. The purpose of meditation is to bring clarity to your mind and stop the internal dialogues. It helps you let go of your muscle tension and stress.
Practice Deep Breathing
Deep breathing is a powerful relaxation technique that can be combined with other elements such as aromatherapy and music. Don’t underestimate the powerfulness of deep breathing. It can help you tap into your subconsciousness and even strengthen your survival mechanisms. A man called Wim Hof was able to run marathon across snow using breathing exercise known as Wim Hof method which became acclaimed for treating arthritis, bipolar, chronic depression and anxiety. The way it works is take a deep breathe from your abdomen to inhale more oxygen, rather than using your upper chest. More oxygen you take means higher heart rate, adrenaline level and less anxiety you have.
Go Floating
Floating therapy is another way to reduce stress hormones and stimuli. Floating is a form of a sensory deprivation and psychedelic experience that makes you achieve a deep state of relaxation. Once you’re put in a pitch-black, soundproof pod with almost zero gravity and a foot of epsom salt, you’ll immediately feel weightless and gradually doze off. As floating therapy diminishes all sensors – smells, sounds, touch and sights, it helps you mellow out and let go all the tension you get from work.
Digital Detox
If you find yourself constantly getting worked up when your cell phone chimes, chances are it’s time for you to turn the notifications off and have a “digital detox”. Human beings are fundamentally tribal so we find validation through sharing and “likes” on social media. But If you want to detach from the hustle and bustle of the reality, it’s always good to have a tech-free weekend and pick up a book to reinvent yourself.
