Are you a very busy and active person? Do you often make business trips and feel beaten? Here are five relaxation tips for the busy business travel executive.
- DEEP BREATHING EXERCISES
The location where you apply this technique is not so important, be it in the back of your Vancouver Limo, in the lobby before your big presentation or on the airplane. We guarantee you that deep breathing exercises help you relax and are not hard to do in any situation. Below we have written down two of our favorite exercises and even the step by step instructions:
BELLY BREATHING
-Sit or lie flat in a relaxed position
-Put one hand on your chest and the other hand on your belly, just below your ribs
-Take a deep breath through your nose and then let your belly push your hand out. Prevent your chest from moving.
-Breathe out through rounded lips as if you were trying to whistle. Feel the hand on your belly go in and use it to force all the air out
Do this procedure 3 to 10 times. Follow all the above steps each time, with patience
Observe how you feel at the end of the exercise
4-7-8 BREATHING
Start by putting one hand on your belly and the other one on your chest as in the previous exercise
Then you must take a deep, slow breath from your belly and silently start counting to 4 as you breathe in
At this point, hold your breath and silently start counting from 1 to 7
The next step is to breathe out completely as you silently count from 1 to 8. By the time you reach eight, you should have let all the air come out of your lungs
You should repeat the exercise 3 to 7 times or until you feel peaceful
Pay attention what your mood is at the end of the exercise
- CHECK IN WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS
A simple and great way to relieve stress during a business trip is to make a quick call to your family members or friends. Check how your child's day at school went, get in touch with an old friend from high school or even declare your feelings to your spouse. Even if the conversation will last only 5 minutes, this period is enough to raise your spirits and give you some additional energy. Another great means to relax is through your social media network. So go through your Facebook or Twitter feed and discover what everyone else is doing. This way, you will forget about work for a couple of minutes, and you may even end up learning a useful thing or two.
- EAT RELAXING FOODS
We don't have to exaggerate and eat only healthy food on every business trip. But how about giving a try to some of the foods and drinks that will help you relax. Here are some suggestions for when you are traveling:
Green Tea – it's an incredible source of L-Theanine, a chemical substance that helps you relieve anger
Mango – contains linalool that serves lowering stress levels
Honey – reduces brain inflammation, which fights depression and anxiety
- LISTEN TO MUSIC
Make sure you don't forget to bring your headphones with you! Modern studies have proven that you can improve your state of mind just by listening to music. It can't ever hurt to listen to your favorite song. Here's an idea: make a playlist of your favorite songs to listen to, while riding in the back a seat of a comfortable Vancouver Limo, with a professional chauffeur at your disposal.
- LAUGH
It seems hard to put it in practice? Sometimes it's not so easy to be in a laughing mood during your business trip, but don't forget that it's an amazing relaxation technique. By simply laughing, you can increase your blood flow and boost immunity. Check YouTube when in need of a great source of a quick laugh.
The above-mentioned relaxation tips are so simple and easy that any business travel executive can practice them.
