Today is National Relaxation Day a perfect reminder that relaxation is not just a nice to do, but an essential part of supporting both our mental and physical wellbeing.
Taking time to relax:
Reduces stress lowering cortisol levels and supporting heart health.
Enables the brain to process giving your mind the downtime it needs to consolidate memories and integrate new information.
Boosts creativity research shows the brain’s default mode network becomes active during restful states, sparking fresh ideas.
Improves problem-solving being in a calmer state allows for clearer thinking and better decision-making.
Running my weekly relaxation groups has created real, positive change for people who attend improved sleep, reduced anxiety, and a greater sense of balance.
If you’re running a business, I can bring these benefits to your workplace too. My 45-minute mindfulness and relaxation sessions help staff feel more focused, present, and motivated boosting morale and productivity.
