Take Time Out...

Visit this page to allow yourself a five minute wind down. You will be amazed out how much more focused, relaxed and energized you will feel after just five minutes.

Sit relaxed both feet on the floor.
Allow your shoulders to drop and rest your hands by your side.
Take a deep breath in.
Exhale through your mouth.
Notice if there is tension in your upper body.
Tighten and relax these muscles.

Imagine there is a large jug above your head.
It contains a golden liquid which is warm and sparkles.
Imagine the liquid being poured into your head.
As it flows inside your head, you feel the warmth.
It pushes any sense of tension down your body as you feel the warm liquid flow down into your neck.
All the tension in your neck is flowing down your body. You feel the liquid working its way down to your chest.
The warmth is dissolving any tension in your back as it works its way to your stomach.
You feel your head shoulders and chest all relaxing.
The liquid is now flowing down your arms and legs. Any tension is flowing out of your feet and into the floor as the liquid works its way down to your ankles and into your feet.
You sit for a moment feeling the warmth and relaxation. Notice this sensation.
If it is possible, get a glass of water and now return to your work feeling calmer, less tense and more relaxed.
