3-Minute Relaxation

Focus your attention on your breathing. Take a few deep breaths, exhaling slowly.
Mentally scan your body. Notice areas that feel tense or cramped. Quietly loosen them. Let go of as much tension as you can.
Rotate your head in a smooth, circular motion once or twice (avoid any movements that cause pain).
Roll your shoulders forward and backward several times. Let all of your muscles completely relax.
Recall a pleasant thought, event, or place.
Take deep breaths and exhale slowly.
