Relaxation Techniques
A vital component of reaching high performance is enabling your body, and mind, to rest. When we're constantly exposed to stressors in the workplace, on our phones and in relationships, it can be challenging to allow yourself to relax and recuperate. But to perform to the best of your abilities – or support your employees to – it is important to not underestimate the value of maximising downtime away from the workplace. Ensuring staff are well rested when they arrive at work will only improve their ability to focus.
Why is relaxation important?
Research has shown that relaxation has a huge impact on our physical and mental wellbeing. Not only can it help to reduce stress and help to improve our sleep, but it affects our bodies too. Regular relaxation can help to reduce muscle tension and lower blood pressure, while improving brain function and memory. It can also help us to avoid suffering from anxiety, depression and even obesity. All this and it also helps to boost our immune system.
How can relaxation help with managing stress?
Stress causes your body to evoke a "stress response" – this is when hormones are released which increase your blood pressure and heart rate to rise. By learning relaxation techniques and how to best apply them, you can take preventative measures when you start to feel triggered by stressful situations whether at work or in daily life. Using these relaxation techniques gives you the power to relax your body and mind, actively lowering your heart rate and blood pressure to bring you back to calm.
When Your Mind
Won't Shut Up
TWO HOUR WORKSHOP
An undisciplined mind lets itself be led by desires and habits of the senses. We are addicted to sensory stimulus and dopamine rushes in the pleasure centres of the brain. Problems arise when we can’t let sensations go and we get swept away by the sensory world. Which gets exhausting.
​
Untrained senses are run by past experiences & instincts (desires, fears, cravings). We latch on to pleasure of the moment so we scroll on our phones and procrastinate instead of doing what we should be doing. We eat cookies instead of sticking to the diet. We let that internal chatter drive us to negative thoughts.
