The way it works is that you tighten muscle groups all over your body, one at a time and then relax.
 
Start off by tightening the muscles in one of your feet. Hold the muscles tightly for a few seconds, and then relax. Feel the difference in your foot. Continue with your other foot. Go through the whole body in this way. Breathe deeply and continuously release tension throughout the whole process.

Relax and enjoy your life.

I juggle with 2 – 3 rubber bolls, throwing them against a wall.

Yes, that’s right; I do this mostly with 2 bolls, but can handle 4. I found this not only joyful, but it also improves my ability to keep focus. But this is not the main reason I juggle. Ok, what is the main reason then?

The main reason is to let go of unhealthy stress and tension that has been built up in the body during time.

This is my way to handle stress, or at least one of the ways, to “play”, and when one play and have fun it is easier to let go of stress and allow it to dissolve.

When harmful stress is dissolved, there is room for something else, and this is something that is called well being hormones, that now replace the harmful hormones that has been created during stress.

I have been juggling many years now, and this helped me to develop a nice ability to handle many things simultaneously, as it become natural doing so. The juggle method seems also to open up for creativity.

The material in juggle balls is soft and don’t bounce as the rubber balls do. The size of the rubber and juggle balls is more or less as the size of a normal large apple, suitable to hold in one hand.

It’s never too late to start with new simple things and become more playful. Have fun, relax and become more peaceful.

 Do you hold a negative self image of your self? If this is the case, are you ready to re-paint your self image?

Ok, let’s start here and now. Take time for your self and make a painting over how you want your life to become, change out the old worn out picture you have of your self and paint a beautiful, relaxed picture that describe your new harmonic, beautiful, relaxed self image.

Next, place your painting where you can see it easily, and allow your new self picture remember you about your new relaxed healthy life style and self image. Allow your new self image to remember you that you have decided to change, and you can make this stronger by doing a meditation each night before you go to bed. Keep your focus on your new picture of you self, and allow your new painted picture take place in your mind, and allow it to erase the old stressful, nasty picture. Imagine the old stressful, tired, unhealthy old picture to disappear and be replaced with your new picture, and new feelings that follow with it.

Allow you’re self to easily handle stressful situations without being stressed out, and have the power to let go of no supportive thoughts. You can make a choice here and now to allow you’re self to handle stress in a healthy way.   

Some days it can feel as one don’t even have time to breathe… and yes, this is often the true experience that happens…

I call this “the suffocation survival breath”… as one only breathe to survive, and not to live and prosper and feel healthy and relaxed.

In the long run this makes one tired and it is hard to hold focus.

One also can feel spaced out, as there are loads of different thoughts that drag one in different directions…

In this state of being, it is impossible to focus on one thing and go forward.

If one allows this distraction to continue and allow it to take control over ones life, one will soon find oneself in the “non-change” same position year after year situation… and not being able to go forward in ones development.

It is not easy to break loose from this stressful, unhealthy circle, unless something really life changing happens, such as an accident, or dreadful unexpected disease or death within ones family. Then one is forced to change life style.

To break this stressful circle, one need to make a commitment to oneself that one has decided to make it so, and to use ones time wisely.

How do one use ones time wisely?

Oh, yes, that is the BIG question!

Do you have any suggestions?

I do it in this way;

I take inventory over my life situation.

Make a decision to put one day off for this task.

The first thing I do when I wake up is to start this special morning to take time for a relaxing meditation. I do this during silence. Breaths deeply and relax – breath and relax, without falling asleep.

If you find it hard to relax you can take help from some meditation relaxing music.

The second is to do some simple stretching movement (like a cat – nothing difficult, just easy and lithe) this will increase the energy flow.

The third is to grab a pen and paper or note book and go out in the nature, or if you prefer  stay inside the house in a silent room.

Take a look at your existing life situation;

Ask yourself the 3 Questions for Solutions to Life Improvement;

1. What do I need to change?
2. What do I need to let go of?
3. What kind of improvement can I do?

Take time to answer each question.

Feel in the answer that comes from within you…

Write it down…

When this is done it is time to write another list, a so called “action” list.

What kind of action do you need to take now?

Write it down in steps 1, 2, 3… and follow those steps…

All the best!

Someone’s daily activities can have a great impact on their inability to relax. If they feel like their day is constantly in control of them instead of them being in control of it. Time is always an issue as much as we may think it isn’t. If someone feels like they don’t have enough time in one day to do the things they feel they need to then they’re going to feel that extra stress. This stress is only going to lead to worse problems down the road and an inability to feel relaxed.

If this is something that you feel you may be experiencing that you can do one of several things. Start with trying to set a schedule for yourself that has to include some time to relax. It doesn’t matter what the activity is as long as it actually feels like a break for you. If this doesn’t work or you continue to feel anxious and stressed than perhaps it is wise to consider counseling. Counseling can help with a wide variety of issues and overall help make you feel better.

Finances are another large part of why people feel like they can’t relax. If other factors aren’t stressing them out then there is always the issue of finances. We can never seem to have enough money. Whether it happens to be bills, events, fun activities, whatever really can lead to lots of unwanted stress. In order to fix a problem revolving around financial situations is to begin by balancing your budget. If it comes to extras they are nice to have but not required. Make sure to pay off the things you need first then see what’s left.

These are only some of the concerns that can face someone when it comes to not being able to relax. As there are many problems there are also many solutions. Just do your research here and you are sure to come up with a solution that can lead to a better lifestyle for yourself.

Here it is…
