how do you just sit back and relax?
hi guys, i have been very stressed lately and i raelly dont know what about. I guess relationship things, family stress, and school stress. Does anyone have a good way to just sit home and relax? Just to let everything escape from your mind that you havent been able to go a day without thinking about in a few months. To have a completely empty head. I've been thinking so much for the past few months, the things i think about follow me to my dreams when that was the only place i could escape them, and ive had a constant headache for about 2 or 3 weeks. how do i compltely relax my brain, and my body and forget everything just for a day while staying at home? Thank you so much to who ever answers this, it will be highly apperciated!

READ THE POWER OF NOW. You need to escape your thoughts and just look around you. Take deep breaths. In nostril out mouth. Focus on one thing in front of you. Everything about it, notice. If your mind wanders, refocus.

You seem to have alot going on :P when at home, go to your favorite place in your house, with no one around, avoid any distractions (music, tv, phone) get into a comfortable position, and lay out your thoughts. Just relax and breath, like meditation. And focus on your body, the areas were the stress "hurts" (stomach, heart, head). Think about what is stressing you, one thought at a time. and some sort of solution ex school: I will go to my teacher and talk about areas where I need to improve. Or family: I will sit down with them and tell them why... is bothering me, or making me feel bad.
By doing that, then your thoughts are planned out, so they are not floating around! Also spend more time with yourself, get away from people and distractions for a while. Focus on you.
What also helps is writing EVERYTHING down on paper, so in a way you are "emptying" your head. Write down your stressors, fears, hopes-just whatever comes to mind, and decide what to do about them. Don't take on all of them at once, just be patient.
To learn how to relax your inner self, try yoga- I love it. Your body becomes aligned with it's self and you can learn what is going on with it.
Good luck:)

It takes practice. Seriously. Instead of trying to spend a whole day relaxing (which can turn out to be stressful once you realize you can't relax!)start making a habit of carving out little patches of time to relax. 20minutes a day, an hour, whatever suits you. Tell yourself that for that time you will turn off your phone and email and all the voices in your head and do something you like doing - nap, music, drawing, reading, whatever it is you enjoy. Set a timer. Never end before the time is up, but if you feel like having more time, reset the timer. The goal is to get your body and mind used to having "downtime". As you get better at it, you'll look forward to having an entire day here and there to chill.

Music. Thats what i do to chill and relax. Find a song that send you somewhere else in your mind. and just sit back and relax. It may work if u find the right kind. Try it out.
