Relaxation Therapy



In this stress-filled world we live in, let’s face it, we all can benefit from Relaxation Therapy.
And, of course, Find Me A Hobby is here to help you find a hobby that can help you relax and get more out of life. And, if you’re looking for some ideas strictly for stress reduction and relaxation, here are some therapeutic ideas.

Aromatherapy - very relaxing and can help alleviate discomforts from sickness while boosting the immune system.
Meditation - to achieve a deeper state of relaxation, 10 to 15 minutes a day of quiet time can carry you through the most stressful of days.
Exercise - as we all know, daily exercise is a must for our health and well being. See our page on walking to get you started.
Hypnotherapy
Yoga
Laughter Yoga - Laugh your way to a better state of mind.
Music Therapy to promote wellness - quiet nature sounds, soothing waterfalls.
Massage Therapy to rejuvenate the mind and body. Visit your local spa on a regular basis.
Reiki - Laying on Hands.
Breathing Therapy - just 15 minutes of deep breathing can restore your energy level to carry you through the day.
Progressive Muscle Relaxation - tensing and releasing muscles throughout your body. This is highly recommended for fibromyalgia patients.
Guided Imagery through Visualization. Have a favorite vacation spot? Picture yourself there, sitting on the beach, listening to the waves hitting the shore as you soak up the warm sunshine. Listen to your breathing.
Curl up with a good book to take you away from the stress around you. Whether it’s an inspirational book, a good mystery or romance novel, it can serve as a necessary escape from everyday problems that plague you.
Water Therapy. Soak in a hot tub. Use a little Epsom Salts to relieve muscle pain. Light a few scented candles. Create a home spa atmosphere as your personal getaway.
Help a needy person - doing any kind of volunteer work helps you forget about your own problems, making you more appreciative of your own circumstances.
Sing. Break out in song, sing in the shower, with the radio while you're driving to work, or have a family sing-a-long. You'll feel great.
Holidays get you stressed out? Sit back and relax with a soothing cup of herbal tea.
