How can i reduce body tension in stressful situations?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Breathe deeply: Muscle tension is common with stress. It's like your body tenses up as it gets ready for a "hit" from life. Diaphragmatic breathing and progressive muscle relaxation are two methods that are great for reducing body tension induced by stress. Taking 3-5 deep breaths can also help decrease tension in the moment. A therapist can help you master these techniques.
