A short Relaxation, Combined Breathing and Tightening Muscles

     Whenever we feel stressed or anxious, and we do not have enough time for a long relaxation exercise, we have two options; both may be performed in front of people, with out being noticed.

     If different muscles groups of your body are not tight, the Relaxation Through Breathing
       is your best option.

     If different muscles groups of your body are tight, the Relaxation, Combined Breathing
       and Tightening Muscles is your best option.

     Whenever you feel stressed or anxious while being among people, you can use the same technique with some variations. Breathe in deeply through your nose, while tightening the lower part of the body: your stomach, your behind and your two legs. When you are ready, breathe out through your mouth, while relaxing your body. If your feel the need, your may repeat the exercise, as many times as you wish. You can try to do the same exercise, while tightening your two fists which are inside your pockets or behind your back. It is recommended to practice the variations in front a large mirror in order to be sure that you do it in an unnoticeable way.
