How to Relax When You are Tense
First and foremost is to have awareness about your condition. Observe yourself. When you feel tense or anxious, you tend to tighten your jaw, furrow our brow, or purse your lips. Some times you feel the veins in your temple throb.
Just relaxing the face can shift your mood.
Sit comfortably. Close your eyes. Notice your breathing and feel the air rushing past the tip of your nose. Relax your breathing. Notice how feeling the breath right there softens the throat. Imagine the inhaled cool air inflating your cheekbones just a little bit. With each exhalation, allow your cheeks to get softer and heavier. Feel the jaw relaxing. Unclench the wrinkled brow by relaxing the muscles around your eyes and temple. Let the corners of your eyes get heavier too. Very softly and slightly, lift the corners of your mouth as if you are going to have a subtle smile. Take 10 breaths, giving all the small muscles of the face some time to unclench, and notice your mood becoming a little lighter, feeling yourself calm and relaxed inside. But remember, accept that you are tense.
Because awareness is the key to manage yourself .
