Relaxation Techniques

Feeling a little less stressed today as I tool the morning off and went to the hairdressers, but it's an expensive way to feel better!

I have been given Bach Rescue Remedy, does it work? I am sceptical. It's a flower remedy?

Glad to hear that you are feeling better, getting your hair done is a massive morale booster (not as expensive as marine fish so dont feel bad)

Yes the rescue remedy does work, its not a placebo either, I used to use it on animals at Battersea Dogs Home when I was a vet nurse there...lots of the staff took it too...

If you have a garden....

Make 2 ponds, water pump, and a stream between them.

Nothing like sitting in the garden, warm summers evening, beer, bob, with the stream and waterfall flowing, watching all the birds come into the garden to have a bath in the stream.

Proper relaxation.. Might find yourself wanting a wee or two though

Stay still and take a few slow breaths.

OOOOh I like that idea very much!!!!
Been thinking about getting a pond as I want ducks but I love the running stream idea even more

Exercise- go for a run then some pushups, situps or whatever floats your boat.

As mentioned, exercise lowers stress levels. But a run is good for generally burning off agression.

I agree about finding out what's causing it though- being aware of something can make such a big difference.

Meditation is good- but it takes time to get into it, so not an instant fix. Very recommended though.

Some cathartic music, played loud?

Bach's rescue remedy is amazing! I use it all the time.

Now you've F**king stressed me out! The house we put an offer on (and got rejected) had 2 ponds, a pump and a water fall/stream between as well as a fuggin massive garden.
