Wellness, stretching and relaxation
Take the time for an icoone treatment for an immediate feeling of relaxation and well-being
Health is not only the absence of disease, but well-being: feeling good in your body, being relaxed and not under stress, finding harmony between body and mind. Achieving this is not easy, in our chaotic and busy lives, less and less dedicated to anti-stress activities; yet it should be considered necessary, because only with the recovery of a good psychophysical balance you can get to say you are really ‘well’.
Wellness therapy
For mind and body wellness you need to find time for yourself and carve out space to devote to stress relief techniques. Beyond the improvement of lifestyle (taking care of sleep hygiene, for example, is very important for psychophysical well-being), there are many strategies to combat stress:
- daily meditation can help you relax and cope better with difficult times;
- relaxation techniques such as autogenic training help to reduce anxiety and fear and improve concentration;
- mindfulness teaches how to observe and accept what is happening inside and outside of us without judgement or criticism, in order to maintain a healthy contact with reality without behaving in a dysfunctional way;
- physical exercise, one of the most powerful natural stress relievers available to us, has a positive effect on the mind due to the release of endorphins and hormones during physical activity.
In addition to this, using muscle relaxation techniques, to obtain immediate anti-stress relief is one of the most effective strategies: when we dedicate ourselves to stretching exercises, thanks to endorphins and more, the whole body relaxes and the mind regains its well-being.
