Breath Quote by Heather Moehn
““ How to Perform Progressive Muscle Relaxation Make sure you are wearing loose clothing and that you remove your shoes. Sit in a comfortable chair with your body fully supported. First, tense all the muscles in the area you are targeting. Concentrate on how tight they feel. Next, relax the muscles that were just tensed. Imagine they have turned to jelly and concentrate on how limp and loose they feel. When that muscle group is completely relaxed, move on to the next area. It is recommended that you work all the major muscle groups in your body, listed as follows. When you have finished, keep your eyes closed for a few seconds, then get up slowly. -Right foot -Right calf and foot -Entire right leg -Left foot -Left calf and foot -Entire left leg -Right hand -Right forearm and hand -Entire right arm -Left hand -Left forearm and hand -Entire left arm -Face -Neck and shoulders -Abdomen -Chest””
