Module 3 Lesson 1. Reducing stress in everyday life 3. Relaxing at any time and any place You can take some time to relax at any time of the day and in any place. Let’s look at an example Diana: relaxing while waiting in line Diana often feels tense when there is a long line in the store, as she is aware she still has many other things to do. She decides to do the breathing exercise while waiting in line. Afterwards, she feels less tense. You can also plan a specific time to relax, for example every day after lunch. You can choose what suits you best. If necessary, you can use a reminder to make sure that you do not forget to take some time to relax. Keep in Mind You can take some time to relax anywhere and at any time of the day. Set a goal: try to do a relaxation exercise at least once a day. You can plan a specific time to relax every day (if necessary, use a reminder). You will benefit from having renewed energy and a better mood after doing the relaxation exercises. Even a brief exercise can make a difference! You will also be able to reduce feelings of tension and continue caring for your family member or acquaintance over the long term.
