Are you running yourself ragged? We asked relaxation experts for some quick fixes to work into your busy day. Here are five things you can do to ease tension while waiting at the bus stop, stuck in traffic or sitting in front of your computer. http://www.webspawner.com/users/datchin/ Breathe There's a reason that when times get tense, it helps to sit down and take a deep breath. "When you're under stress, you tend to take quick shallow breaths from the chest," explains Evelyn Fleischman, a shiatsu massage therapist in Berkeley, Calif. "Breathing properly for a few minutes, from your abdomen, can actually relax you." (You can tell you're breathing superficially, Fleischman says, when your belly flattens and your chest expands as you inhale.) When you realize you're getting tense, simply concentrate on breathing slowly for a few minutes. Imagine that your abdomen is like a balloon; when you inhale, it inflates. Then exhale slowly, and try to expel the air directly from your diaphragm. The bonus to breath work? It's a relaxation technique that's easy to do anywhere. http://www.webspawner.com/users/datchin/ Treat your toes Tension is something you can tackle from the bottom up. Tired, aching feet affect your entire physique, says Rebecca Gorrell, director of movement therapy at Canyon Ranch spa in Tucson, Ariz. The next time your dogs are barking, Gorrell recommends that you kick off your shoes and give yourself a massage. Start by rubbing your thumb up and down your sole, from the heel to the ball of your foot. Then, massage across the sole in the other direction — as if you're trying to widen your arch. Finally, press down on the ball of your foot, and stretch out your toes by gently pulling them apart. Even after a few minutes, your feet will feel refreshed. And if you work behind a desk, no one ever has to know how you got that spring back in your step. http://www.webspawner.com/users/datchin/ Twist and shout The act of turning your upper body into a twist can release tension in muscles, stretch your spine and stimulate your circulation. The result: a restored sense of relaxation, says Fleischman. This move is particularly effective, she explains, because the shoulders, back and neck are the body parts most likely to be affected by stress. Here's what to do. Sit on the edge of your chair, feet planted on the ground. Place your right hand on your left thigh, reaching toward the outer side of your knee and exhale, puffing air out of your chest. Then inhale and twist your lower back, using your free hand to grab the top of the chair over your right shoulder. Exhale when you untwist, and repeat the stretch on the opposite side. You can do this exercise anywhere and reap all its de-stressing benefits without leaving your office chair. (If you try this one in stalled traffic, be sure to keep your eyes on the road.) http://www.webspawner.com/users/datchin/ Drink up Stress can take its toll in different ways, but one that tops the list is exhaustion. On mornings when it seems impossible to rise and shine — or when you're on your way home to family responsibilities or to the gym after a tiring day — Gorrell offers a simple solution: slugging down a glass of orange juice. "Aside from being packed with vitamins, O.J. is a natural energizer," she says. "It boosts your blood-sugar level and can help you get going in the morning." Gorrell also reminds women to keep a bottle of water nearby at all times. It's easier than you think to get dehydrated, she points out, and that can affect you both physically and mentally. Uncommon scents Betsy Kase, director of the Yoga Haven in Tuckahoe, N.Y., suggests rubbing an essential oil into your temples whenever you're feeling overwhelmed. The appealing smell can evoke calm, she says. Plus your temples are a pressure point, so the mini-massage will feel good. Which oils should you try? Kase likes lavender, sage, patchouli and other musky oils. But she points out that certain scents are more soothing to some women than others. To find out which ones work for you, take a whiff of the test vials that are often available at health food stores and bath shops where the oils are sold. http://www.webspawner.com/users/datchin/ ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ( Melanggan ?
