>>52>Do you have any resources on progressive muscle relaxation?Not really, but this is how I do it. I lay in bed or sitting comfortably, eyes relaxed, and start paying attention to breathing with both belly and chest, and in a relaxed fashion. When my breathing is all nice and regular I see what part of my body is the less relaxed one, try to feel for the ugliest tension. Then, inhale (with that regular relaxed rythm) and focus on the tense muscle, single it out, try to feel where it starts and ends, tense it. Hold the air in for the natural time keeping the muscle tense, then relax that tense muscle while exhaling. Repeat until you're as soft as you like. After this I do some yoga for some twenty minutes, take a bath and start my day. You really feel less tense all the time if you do this.
