Muscle relaxation
This involves progressively relaxing muscles of the body one by one, working from the toes to the head. Each stage tell yourself to relax and feel the muscle becoming heavy, warm, relaxed and comfortable. Focus on deep breathing slowly throughout.
Meditation
Sit quietly, close your eyes and focus on your breath for a few seconds . Every breath ‘out’ say the word silently to yourself. Repeat this word every time you breath out slowly and every time you find your thought wandering, just keep returning to the word. You can use any word you wish, its good to have a very simple word which has an easy meaning, like one, out, relax, breath, etc. Continue with word and breath until relaxed and finished.
