Progressive Muscle Relaxation

Patricia Farrell, PhD posted:
In addition to relaxation breathing and guided imagery, one great self-help technique that you can use anywhere (even while sitting in a chair in your office or while seated anywhere), is progressive muscle relaxation.

We've put detailed instructions on this on my website's Self-Help page just under the Guided Imagery.

Use it whenever you feel the need to get a bit of relaxation. It works very well because you can't be anxious and relaxed at the same time and this technique uses that idea very well.
