Relaxation Technique #2

Dear broken hearted girl,

If you're having trouble sleeping, try this technique to help you wind down -


Lie on your back. Ensure that your back is flat against the floor and that your posture is strong. Breathe in until your lungs feel full. Hold the breath for 5 seconds. When exhaling, create a humming noise in the back of your throat - mine is a noise that I make when I think something tastes good. Keep breathing this way for up to 2 minutes.

Feel your muscles begin to lose tension with each deep breath.

Begin breathing normally after 2 minutes, but keep creating the humming noise in the back of your throat when you exhale. As you concentrate on that noise and let your fears and worries melt away, your mind will also relax, allowing you to drift off into sleep.

This technique will not be easy the first time you try it. As with anything you want to master in life, it is hard work. The more you practice, the easier it will be.
