Lie down or sit comfortably and focus on each part of your body, starting at your toes and working your way up. Notice any sensations or tension, and consciously relax each part of your body as you go.

Incorporating these stress management techniques into your daily routine can contribute to a healthier mind and body, enabling you to navigate life’s challenges with greater resilience and ease. Remember, taking care of your mental well-being is an essential part of overall health.
