2. Muscle relaxation

Relaxing your muscles through stretching and tensing helps reduce nervous tension. According to psychologists, yoga and Pilates are good options to increase flexibility and reduce nervous tension. After each practice, you will feel a sense of relaxation throughout your body.

3. Take a deep breath

When we are stressed, we often feel irritable and impatient. Deep breathing helps calm the nervous system and creates a feeling of relaxation. Practicing deep breathing can help improve mood and reduce stress.

Find a quiet space, make yourself feel as safe as possible, then sit down, try not to let go of thoughts, and focus on breathing. You direct your attention to each breath, inhale slowly through the nose, and exhale gently through the mouth.

In addition, people with nervous tension need support from psychological experts to manage and minimize symptoms. The care process usually begins with a specific assessment to determine the level of nervous tension the patient is experiencing. Based on the assessment, Safe and Sound's psychologist will develop a separate treatment plan, depending on the specific needs and conditions of each person. So how will Safe and Sound help you overcome this problem?

4. Hand massage

Hand massage

Hands contain nerves; hand massage can help stimulate the nervous system and relax the mood and is also a way to reduce stress. Gently press and massage each point on the hand to create a feeling of comfort.

How to do it is very simple: You hold each finger tightly for at least 60 seconds, then, depending on your condition, massage different positions on your hand.

5. Swimming

Swimming helps to improve your physical health and gives you a feeling of relaxation. Water has a gentle massage effect on the body, thereby helping to reduce nervous tension and improve mood.

6. Practice yoga

Yoga combines focus on breathing and physical movements to help relieve stress and promote relaxation. Yoga postures such as lunges and stretches can help increase flexibility and improve mood.
