Progressive Muscle Relaxation
Progressive Muscle Relaxation
In this relaxation technique, you focus on slowly tensing and then relaxing each muscle group.
This helps you focus on the difference between muscle tension and relaxation. You become more aware of physical sensations.
One method of progressive muscle relaxation is to start by tensing and relaxing the muscles in your toes and progressively working your way up to your neck and head. You can also start with your head and neck and work down to your toes. Tense your muscles for at least five seconds and then relax for 30 seconds, and repeat. Source: Mayoclinic.org

Are you okay?
Do you feel like you don’t have enough time? Are you dealing with personal issues that impact your academics? Do you work too hard, or not hard enough? Many factors can contribute to stress for college students; work or family obligations and other issues only add to the stress. This workshop will help you ease some of that stress by identifying its source and providing a variety of tools to manage your stressors. We can’t fix everything, but we can connect you with time management tools and support systems to help you get through this tough time.
