5 Minute Break

Releasing Muscle Tension

Here is something you can to when you need to wind down and refocus. Bring attention to your body, release the stress that has built up throughout the day and let it go. 

 Sit for a minute and take a few breaths. Focus on your body and look for muscle that are tense or tight. Once you know what muscles to work on pick one to start with. Squeeze the muscle and hold foe a count of 5 then release repeat 3 times. Then move on to the other tense muscles a follow the same process.

This exercise can be done with the whole body when you have the time. Starting with the feet and working your way up to your head.
