How Relaxation Can Reduce Your Anxiety

How Relaxation Can Reduce Your Anxiety

There are four fundamental elements we need in our life to maintain our physical, mental and emotional wellbeing. These four main areas which are the pillars of general wellness are a healthy diet, regular moderate exercise, a good sleep routine and some form of relaxation. The relaxation element is what I'm going to mainly focus on in this course.

The reason being is that you cannot be relaxed and anxious at the same time. It is physiologically and biologically impossible for someone to be relaxed and anxious at the same time. They are like opposite sides of a coin. So the more relaxed you become the less anxious you will be.

You weren’t born anxious, just look at any tiny baby they can sleep anywhere. Anxiety is a coping mechanism that we develop to cope with everyday life or with a specific event that may have occurred in our life. In this course I show you the benefits of practising regular relaxation techniques such as meditation and mindfulness. 

Also if you have a daily practice of meditation or mindfulness, this can help to decrease negative moods, improve concentration, have a better working memory, as well as decrease levels of anxiety.

You cannot be relaxed and anxious at the same time, so the more relaxed you become the less anxious you will be.
