relaxation technique

Calming practice method

A relaxation technique is any method used to reduce stress, tension, or anxiety in the body or mind.

Common examples include deep breathing, meditation, progressive muscle relaxation, and visualization.

These practices are often recommended by healthcare providers for managing conditions like high blood pressure, chronic pain, or insomnia.

I use a simple relaxation technique before job interviews to calm my nerves.
