Module 4: Get emotions under control
Today, the time pressure is high. However, you should occasionally take your right to comfort yourself. Because fatigue leads to a loss of performance.
Performing progressive muscle relaxation (PMR), you should experience more intense the interplay of tensing and relaxing specific muscle groups.
Your breathing can be deliberately influenced. Thus you have an indirect influence on the arousal state of your body: Fast and shallow breaths increase your heartbeat. Calm and deep breaths have a relaxing effect.
Music can also have a relaxing effect. What song helps you is a matter of taste. However, peaceful and harmonious songs without vocals are particularly relaxing.
Yoga also helps to experience and aware the change between tension and relaxation.
Relaxation exercise must be performed regularly. The effect is then faster and larger.
