Why should we relax?
Healthy living is a matter of balance. Relaxation can play a key part of the balancing process, alongside what we eat, how much physical activity we do, and how we handle stress.
Teachers and students face constant demands, not only from work but also from their families and in their social lives - and this affects their stress levels on a major scale.
Stress affects us all in different ways, and many of us don’t even realise how stressed we actually are; we often become accustomed to being tense, so we think of it as normal.
Feeling stressed or tense for prolonged periods can have a negative effect on our overall well-being. Research studying the relationship between stress and health shows that stress not only affects our mood, but can also lead to problems with general health and well-being.
Relaxation techniques are an important key to restoring or maintaining, a healthy body and mind. Many relaxation exercises are designed to help slow down your breathing and heart rate, which can help to lower blood pressure and muscle tension. Relaxation can also help you to gain control of your worries and can help you to learn other skills, such as mindfulness.
