Meditation

Meditation can help you to relax by clearing your mind of clutter.

Do this exercise somewhere you will not be disturbed.

Sit down in a relaxed and comfortable position with your back straight.

Close your eyes, think about something you like, and concentrate on it.

It might be a word or phrase which you say over and over again.

You might visualise a scene you find pleasing and restful. For instance, imagine looking at a green landscape or clouds on a summer day.

Some people do this with a background of calm and soothing music.

Keep thinking about the one thing - and forget everything else.

After twenty minutes or so you should achieve a state of deep relaxation.

It is a way of calming yourself and promoting a sense of restfulness.

You are giving both your mind and your body a rest.
