Pick a title that appeals to you in this moment and take 5 minutes to pause, listen, and enjoy. When possible, it’s helpful to take 5-minute relaxation breaks every hour during each stressful day.
How do relaxation breaks help?
Our Central Nervous Systems practice the Stress Reaction reflexively a lot every day. So, it’s good to Mindfully practice the Relaxation Response often every day, too, to interrupt the Stress Hormone flow.
Take 5-Minute Relaxation Breaks often to soothe muscle tension, mental tension and emotional tension, so you can Respond rather than React to daily life events.
Below, you’ll find 5-Minute Relaxation Training Exercises that I wrote and recorded in my office for you to use as you desire. I recorded them just as I would offer them in my office, one patient at a time. Sometimes you may hear my office noises, like my Therapy Dog helping herself to drink of water.

Grow your best relaxation practice
By practicing muscle relaxation and exhaling fully, you relax your state of mind as well.
Relaxing your state of mind helps you stay in touch with your personal preferences and choices a little better each day. Checking in with your personal preferences often helps you feel like you matter in your world, and builds inner resilience. Remember, it’s more empowering to know what you want than it is to get what you want.
Keep practicing daily to support your inner strength. Inner strength builds a sense of well-being that will see you safely through difficult times. Explore my services for more support growing your best relaxation practice.
