On Tuesday, 16th January, we met for an enjoyable cuppa and had an uplifting time together discussing how to reduce feelings of stress.
Firstly, we discussed the kinds of things that cause us stress, and there was a wide variety as you might imagine! We shared ideas about what helps us feel less stressed, including using breathing techniques, and tightening and relaxing different muscles in our body, which is something called progressive muscle relaxation. I was amazed to discover while doing research for this event that progressive muscle relaxation even helps with physical issues like migraines. The worksheet and progressive muscle relaxation technique are available if you would like them.
It was really good to air our views, and discuss ways to boost our positive feelings together. Why not join us next month, on Tuesday, 20th February, at 3 pm in Jewels, Bedford Square, Houghton Regis?
