What are some relaxation techniques for fatigue?

I've been feeling really fatigued lately. What are some relaxation techniques I can try?

There are several relaxation techniques that can help with fatigue. Have you tried deep breathing exercises?

No, I haven't. How do I do that?

You can start by sitting comfortably, closing your eyes, and taking a deep breath in through your nose for a count of four. Hold it for a count of four, then exhale slowly through your mouth for a count of six. Repeat this for a few minutes.

That sounds easy enough! Are there any other techniques?

Absolutely! Progressive muscle relaxation is another great technique. It involves tensing and then relaxing each muscle group in your body.

I’d love to try that! How do I do progressive muscle relaxation?

Start from your toes and work your way up. Tense each muscle group for about five seconds, then relax them. Focus on the difference in sensation.
