Finding the relaxation technique that’s best for you

There is no single relaxation technique that is best for everyone. When choosing a relaxation technique, consider your specific needs, preferences, fitness level, and the way you tend to react to stress. The right relaxation technique is the one that resonates with you, fits your lifestyle, and is able to focus your mind and interrupt your everyday thoughts in order to elicit the relaxation response. In many cases, you may find that alternating or combining different techniques will keep you motivated and provide you with the best results.

Stress Response

Symptoms

Relaxation Technique

Overexcited

You tend to become angry, agitated, or keyed up under stress

You may respond best to relaxation techniques that quiet you down, such as meditation, deep breathing, or guided imagery

Under excited

You tend to become depressed, withdrawn, or spaced out under stress

You may respond best to relaxation techniques that are stimulating and that energize your nervous system, such as rhythmic exercise

Frozen (both overexcited and under excited at the same time – like pressing on the brakes and gas simultaneously)

You tend to freeze: speeding up in some ways while slowing down in others

Your challenge is to identify relaxation techniques that provide both safety and stimulation to help you “reboot” your system. Techniques such as mindfulness walking or power yoga might work well for you
