How to relax in the evening after a stressful day at work

Have you noticed that when you want to relax nothing seems to work? Let's try this, try that but nothing we continue to be tense and to feel sick. This is because each of us has to discover its own particular way of relaxing.

1. Laughing

So, here we are at the end of the day and we can not stop thinking about the events, well, we call a friend and chat with him, someone willing to listen with which maybe throw a joke and laugh about it. Laughing is the first step to ward off stress, nervousness and tension. We chat on the other short, distracted.

2. Physical Activity

At this point if we feel better already we can proceed with the shower or even if we feel too full it is best to put on your running shoes and go for a run or a walk. A bit 'of physical activity can greatly help to relieve stress and anxiety. To be avoided, however, if you feel very tired. Perhaps in this case we can opt for stretching.

3. Relaxing baths

Then, once the phone call or the race, it recommends a nice shower / relaxing bath. He 'important to physically washes away the dust, smog and sweat to wash away metaphorically tension, stress, nervousness and thoughts. If we want to induce relaxed atmosphere let music that we like and that usually helps us release tension. So we use some essential oil to spread a pleasant aroma into the environment, or to wash (the important thing is not to use it pure!) To help us to introduce a state of relaxation. While brushing we can practice a self massage on the shoulders, neck and back. While the water flows let drain away the thoughts that leave us, replace with new thoughts, positive. Organize mentally a relaxing or fun day maybe for the weekend, we think of some new recipe, a new book or a movie that we want to see. We distract the mind in fact.

A great move is the foot bath, which helps a lot to relax, immerse your feet in a basin where we dissolved the salt, or bath salts or baking soda, lukewarm It must have water, so after an hour , rinse feet with cold water.

We go out of the shower and get ready to start our relaxing evening.

5. Create a relaxing ambience
The ideal now is to change the music, maybe the ayurvedic sounds, the sounds of water or of the forest or of classical music if it is to our liking (I recommend the sound). The light must be low and soft, if you want to read It must have concentrated in one corner and preferably not brighten any room per day.

sitting comfortably now we just have to decide whether to dedicate to yoga and meditation, or reading a book. Watch a movie or watching TV may not be a good idea because maybe instead distract and relax might reactivate in us thoughts and brooding preventing us to relax, maybe later when the tension is gone we can evaluate the idea of ​​watching a bit 'of TV.
relaxation techniques

To reduce stress and anxiety here is what are the best relaxation techniques to practice at home:
Yoga

Let's start with sit in a comfortable position on the floor or on the bed or on the couch. Then imagine that every part of our body relax, every muscle of the head, neck, shoulders, chest, lower back and legs. We breathe slowly inflating the lungs, stomach and you deflating the stomach and lungs as it deflates a balloon that is slowly beginning to end. Raise your shoulders and then we lower five times, now we rotate from side to side head always very calmly, then look at the ceiling, raising OA head and then lowering the sternum. Bend his head before the left shoulder and then on his right shoulder, finally do swing the head like a pendulum with abandon on our chest.this exercise is essential to help the neck muscles to relax, this sequence is repeated at least three times. So we relax, always breathe deeply and imagine that with each breath a pleasant color that enters us reach every part of the body and then released simultaneously from the head and feet. The color comes with each breath and focuses in particular areas where we feel more tension then it is in the upper half of the trunk comes from the head and if it is in the lower half of the body out of the way.
Meditation

This is a plus, not all succeed because it takes a great relaxation and a large detachment from reality. Basically we visualize a relaxing place where we would like to visit us, first as a framework then more and more real to see us inside. It can be a river, a lake, the beach, the mountains or a flowery meadow. We report to mind all the feelings we have experienced in such a place: the smells, the sounds, the details of what surrounds us. Gradually waters in this place as if it were real, then let's see it again as a framework, and open our eyes.

Book, music and herbal tea

But if all this is not for us we can always opt for soft pillows and a good book that is still a relaxing always very effective remedy, if the music disturbs us prefer silence or the sound of water.

Prepared properly: In cold weather we take a soft warm blanket or turn on the stove, if it's summer we open all the windows and let in the air, prepare a relaxing drink without staring on herbal teas, because it can also be a chocolate (if instead we hungry eat fruit that does not weigh us) but if we opt just for relaxing herbal tea, I'd go for the water and bay leaf that really works (you bring to boil four bay leaves, well washed, for about ten minutes, filtered and sweetens with honey and drink warm) especially it helps to loosen tensions and heartburn. Alternatively you can get advice herbalist.
