Progressive Muscle Relaxation

Progressive Muscle Relaxation, PMR, is similar to the technique used by people who practice mindfulness. Just like scanning your body, this technique allows a group of muscle to relax at an instant until your entire body attains a relaxation state. This technique can be practiced without the aid of an expert, by using a YouTube video, audio guidance, or just your mind. The practice is helpful for easing your nerves and providing a busy and troubled mind relaxation. [7]
