Time Management

People complain about time
that there is a shortage of time
All gets 24 hours in this world
why few and many complain about shortage in time
To accomplish things, we need time
Are we complaing about shortage in a day of 24 hours or
Are we complaining about the time of
the life span god has given
if we complain shortage about 24 hours
we need to complain shortage of our life span
that life span is not sufficient
to achieve things in life
We need more time to make achievements in this world.
is it correct? Is it justifiable.?
How great people achieved greatness and accomplishments in this world.?
is it because that god gave more time to them?
or they were successful in making use of the time to the maximum?
let us think and not complain about anything?
let us optimize the time what god has given us.
people make acheivements in this world
within 20 years 25 years 30 years of life span...
many people even after living till 80 years
does not make any acheivement or mark in this world
other than just living...
let us think and not complain about time
god has given everything for us plenty to meet our need
and if we are greedy for time like money, we will not use the available time given by god to us at all..
let us think and not complain..

Relaxation techniques: Calm your stress

Relaxation techniques can reduce negative responses to stress and help you enjoy a better quality of life. Explore relaxation techniques you can do on your own.

Relaxation techniques are a great way to help your quest for stress management. Relaxation isn't just about peace of mind or enjoying a hobby. Relaxation is a process that decreases the wear and tear of life's challenges on your mind and body.

Whether you have a lot of stress in your life or you've got it under control, you can benefit from learning relaxation techniques. Learning basic relaxation techniques isn't hard. Explore these simple relaxation techniques to get you started on de-stressing your life and improving your health.

The benefits of relaxation techniques

With so many things to do, relaxation techniques may take a back seat in your life. But that means you may miss out on the health benefits of relaxation.

Practicing relaxation techniques can improve how you physically respond to stress by:

  • Slowing your heart rate
  • Lowering blood pressure
  • Slowing your breathing rate
  • Reducing the need for oxygen
  • Increasing blood flow to major muscles
  • Reducing muscle tension

You may also gain these overall health and lifestyle benefits from relaxation techniques:

  • Fewer physical symptoms, such as headaches and back pain
  • Fewer emotional responses, such as anger and frustration
  • More energy
  • Improved concentration
  • Greater ability to handle problems
  • More efficiency in daily activities

Types of relaxation techniques

Although health professionals such as complementary and alternative medicine practitioners, doctors and psychotherapists can teach relaxation techniques, you can also learn some on your own. Relaxation techniques usually involve refocusing your attention to something calming and increasing awareness of your body. It doesn't matter which technique you choose. What matters is that you try to practice relaxation regularly.

There are several main types of relaxation techniques, including:

  • Autogenic relaxation. Autogenic means something that comes from within you. In this technique, you use both visual imagery and body awareness to reduce stress. You repeat words or suggestions in your mind to help you relax and reduce muscle tension. You may imagine a peaceful place and then focus on controlled, relaxing breathing, slowing your heart rate, or different physical sensations, such as relaxing each arm or leg one by one.
  • Progressive muscle relaxation. In this technique, you focus on slowly tensing and then relaxing each muscle group. This helps you focus on the difference between muscle tension and relaxation, and you become more aware of physical sensations. You may choose to start by tensing and relaxing the muscles in your toes and progressively working your way up to your neck and head. Tense your muscles for at least five seconds and then relax for 30 seconds, and repeat.
  • Visualization. In this technique, you form mental images to take a visual journey to a peaceful, calming place or situation. Try to use as many senses as you can, including smells, sights, sounds and textures. If you imagine relaxing at the ocean, for instance, think about the warmth of the sun, the sound of crashing waves, the feel of the grains of sand and the smell of salt water. You may want to close your eyes, sit in a quiet spot and loosen any tight clothing.

Other relaxation techniques include those you may be more familiar with, such as:

  • Yoga
  • Tai chi
  • Music
  • Exercise
  • Meditation
  • Hypnosis
  • Massage
