Knowing how to relax deeply is extremely important in ensuring health as well as restoring passion and interesting things in life.

1. Learn how stress affects your life

We all have to deal with stress at some point in our lives, be it work, illness, economy... But not all stress is bad. In some cases, stress can give you strength and help you get things done.
Stress is different for everyone. That's because stress response is the body's way of dealing with difficult situations. It causes hormonal, respiratory, cardiovascular and neurological changes. While good but short-lived stress helps the body get through difficult situations, bad stress causes long-term health problems. To help relieve the bad stress that is harmful to the body, it is extremely important to find yourself a healthy passion that helps the body relax every day.

2. Healthy hobbies for deep relaxation

2.1. Massage your own hands

Self-massage of hands can reduce stress by a level or two (it can also boost your immune system). Stand against a wall and place a tennis ball between your shoulder blades, then gently bend your knees to rub your back. Or for a neck massage, clasp your hands behind your head and make small, thumb-deep circles. Or to release facial tension try rubbing your forehead and jaw with your fingers.

2.2. Energy from fresh flowers

Fresh flowers whether in the store or in your yard can instantly put you at ease. This could be because of their beauty or because flowers are often shared as a strong association with happy, joyful events.
Choosing flowers with colors and scents that you like and placing them somewhere in the house where you can see them often will help lift your mood and make you feel good.

2.3. Growing houseplants

If feeling stressed, maybe it's time to invest in a houseplant. When you plant and take care of them, you will feel more relaxed than using a computer or phone throughout the day. Indoor plants bring a sense of calm, even have the ability to calm the nervous system and help lower blood pressure.

2.4. Set rest time

Smartphones, tablets and laptops can hardly make you leave them to rest. When using the internet too much, you can feel stressed and always feel busy with no time.
To relax and recharge after a stressful day at work, you should stand up and connect with people instead of using these devices. In addition, you can set the time to use the machine to remind yourself to take a short break before continuing to work.

2.5. Drink tea

Sipping a cup of black or green tea can help with deep relaxation giving you a sense of well-being. This may sound simple, but studies show that doing it reduces stress and improves mood. Because, the smell and taste of the tea or the heat of the cup contribute to this benefit. Certain herbal teas, like chamomile, can also help reduce anxiety and induce feelings of well-being.

2.6. Soak in a warm bath

The warmth of the water gently widens blood vessels and improves blood flow throughout the body helping you to relax. Some studies suggest that people who bathe regularly feel less stressed and tired. Bathing before bed along with the rise and fall of body temperature also helps you to fall asleep.

2.7. Focus on the main issue

Organizing and prioritizing work will help you avoid stress and work pressure. Make a list of issues that need your attention. Also know how to say no to requests that you don't really want to participate.

2.8. Take a walk outside

Going for a walk outside is probably the fastest way to relax when you're feeling stressed. Just about 20 minutes of walking outside (perhaps in your yard) can help you detach from negative thoughts. The soothing sounds outside will help lower your blood pressure.
Also, climbing is not the only activity that makes you feel good. You can sit or walk in any outdoor setting you like.

2.9. Reduce stress with music

Relaxing music can directly affect the nervous system. It slows heart rate and breathing, lowers blood pressure, and signals muscles to soften. When under mental stress, choosing music is the best way to improve mood. Choosing classical, folk, or jazz music can calm your body because they have a beat of 60 to 80 beats per minute.

2.10. Soothes body with scent

Lavender, vanilla and jasmine are a few options for sending basic signals to the nervous system. Put a few drops of fragrance oil in a diffuser or spray bottle filled with water. In addition, you can choose from some scented creams and candles to help improve your mood.

2.11. Connect with friends

Connecting with family members or friends helps you handle stress better and lifts your mood. Take the time to call, text, or email someone who makes you feel good.
