How To Reduce Stress By Taking Power-Naps
Learning to relax under pressure and stress is not easy. In fact, it's downright tough to deal with high stress levels at work or at home and be able to effectively handle it without getting rest. But here lies the catch-22, and that is that unless we rest appropriately, then we cannot handle stress in a positive manner. So how can we relax under pressure? Why not learn to take quick “power naps”?
If your job involves a lot of reading, it would make sense to learn to speed-read. If your life contains a lot of stress, it would be a tremendous help to be able to take a quick “power-nap” for even a few moments when under fire. Most people can definitely relax on a two week vacation, many can totally relax on the weekend, and some people can relax every evening after work ends. But how many, during even the most stressful days, can count to ten, suddenly be at complete rest for a few moments, and then wake up refreshed? This is the power nap, and we are going to show you how to do it.
This does not mean that you will necessarily put yourself sound asleep in the middle of the day, but simply that you can learn to slow your pulse and breathing rate, and reverse many of the natural stress responses in your body. Depending on the images or triggers that are designed for you, you could, for example, count to ten and place yourself on a nice beach with your hand in the warm sand for a few seconds. Then you could count back down to zero and be fully refreshed. Other people find success by closing their eyes for a few seconds and imagining a dial, set on high, when they are very tense. In their minds, they simply imagine the dial being turned down. In this way, they can gain control of themselves, and “command” their pulse and blood pressure rates to decrease.
Some of you already have the skills to help you relax on command, gained from such diverse (and excellent) activities as prayer, yoga, martial arts, meditation, exercise, listening to music, and doing favourite odd jobs around the house. But if you find that your current levels of stress are too high for even these methods, then you should have an ace up your sleeve: the power nap.
Best learned with a few lessons from your own hypnotist, the power nap can be taken at the drop of a hat. It can break up your most stressful days with a few moments of total relaxation for your body (to the extent that you will be unable to prevent your jaw from slackening). It also relaxes your mind so that you are aware of none of your surrounding stresses. With practice and coaching, you may be able to gain an excellent recharging of your batteries in a few minutes per day, and spare yourself the burnout of the constant use of the same brain and body circuits.
The same skills are also helpful in getting to sleep at night
