Deep Breathing
Breathing exercises can help eliminate stress and provide your body with enough oxygen.

Someone demonstrating Tens machined said I was the tense -ist person he had met. I sleep badly & only manage 2 hrs at a time before paying a visit to the bathroom. I rarely relax but am always tired. Reiiki and reflexology once gave me a night’s sleep but have not had one since. I ate at night a lot, but now have lost 3 stones and no longer have pastry, chocolate spread etc. I drop off during TV programmes though!
