Greetings #Wellness WOWers and those who are ready to commit to their self-care and harmony in their lives. Dr. Michelle here, your holistic physician who specializes in the release of stress simply and naturally. Many people tell me they can’t relax because they have too much on their plate. They have more responsibilities and obligations and can’t seem to fit it in. At the end of a long day, they crash from exhaustion. This sounds like a classic example of burnout! Burnout often is the result of the inability to balance daily obligations and the stress response is activated constantly. The stress response or the ‘fight or flight’ response can be calmed down by activating the relaxation response. We can activate the relaxation response and enjoy a state of calm by implementing one of these 7 relaxation techniques:
Deep Breathing or Breathing Exercises
Guided Imagery
Self-Massage
Autogenic Relaxation
Music/Art Therapy
Aromatherapy
Clean and Clear

Not only will you release stress and calm your mind, but relaxation techniques have health benefits as well.
Some of the health benefits include:
Anxiety

Headache
Slowing heart rate
