Thanks for the simplified version of everything that is always presented in such a complicated way! I especially like the one sentence diet recommendation. You’re right – that about sums it up.

Now off to check out some of those links…

The great thing about these tips is that they feed off one another.

My personal challenge is sleep. I have a tough time winding down at the end of the day.

@ Greg: Sleep is a tough one. Checkout my posts on sleep they should help, some of the biggies though can be things like caffeine late in the day or not having a quiet and dark room by night. Be sure to give yourself plenty of time to wind down.

I tend to keep my mind and body red-lined to the extreme for long stretches at a time. I’d do well to take some of these meditation/relaxation methods to heart. Everyone has something that they can improve upon. Thanks for bringing these issues to mind.

Hey i do love your website is awesome, every step that you mention is also know as REIKI methods, visualization, relaxation, breathlaxation- using you diaphragm. All these using our intentions, space and silence is very important to let go the mind. by the way I am a massage therapist and Reiki master too!

Best,
Ana

I like a variation of the progressive relaxation, especially when I am so wound up relaxation seems like a very distant notion. It involves alternately contracting a muscle and then releasing it, and it works well when you progress from your head to your toe focusing on one area at a time – head and neck, shoulders and chest, abs and back, hips and glutes, legs and feet. You can conclude by contracting all the muscles you can locate and then melting into the floor, mat or ground. My favourite part is schrunching up all the muscles in my face and then releasing them.

Buteyko Breathing, where the breaths are shallower but still diaphragmatic, have a calming, pressure lowering effect. I have also had some success with “Emotional Freedom Technique” (EFT) before high stakes meetings.

You have the right order.

I really need to start mediating! Think about it all the time, but just never get around to it. “Don’t have the time” excuse. Terrible excuse, because if I had the mental clarity from the meditation, I’d have more time. Ha-ha

Keith is a hardcore dude. Sometimes I look at his workouts just for motivation to step mine up.
