De-stress yourself for hedache prevention

De-stress yourself. This is particularly true for those who suffer from tension headaches. Below I have included some tips on how to de-stress.

Try to focus on the 'here' and the 'now' and not on the tomorrow or the yesterday. After all we all live in todays and not in yesterdays and tomorrows!

Listen to soft music, preferably without ear phones.

Prayer is an excellent way of de-stressing yourself.

Meditation:

Meditation brings with it peace of mind as we learn to observe our surroundings. We become one with it and it helps us to focus our mental energy on one thing at a time. The human mind is a virtual power house of energy but often this energy goes un-channeled or untapped.

A lot of it is lost on extraneous things. Through the process of meditation we can harness this energy and use it for constructive purposes.

In the initial stages you may find your mind drifting but gradually you will learn to focus more and more. The idea behind meditation is not to cut out all the forces around you but to become one with them.

I have seen people plug their ears with cotton to shut out sounds. But that is not the purpose that we wish to achieve. On the contrary we should focus on the sounds around us.

Be aware of them, listen to them. First listen to the bigger sounds around you like the traffic or machines or even loud music from your neighbor's apartment.

Then listen to the softer sounds like the drone of the refrigerator, or the A/C. And then bring your attention to the sound of your own breathing. If you can actually hear yourself breathing then you have arrived and this is what you have to keep doing.
