You could notice the effects of your mental state on your body today. It might be that you have many concerns in your life, and these thoughts are leaving you feeling drained of all of your energy. Learning how to calm your mind and relax your body may help you rejuvenate yourself. Perhaps you can try an autosuggestion technique, which you can use to relax your body should you feel anxious today. While in a comfortable position, bring your attention to your feet, squeeze them tightly, and then tell yourself as you release them, "I relax my feet, my feet are relaxing, my feet are relaxed." Continuing to do this for each part of your body, and you may begin to feel both your physical and mental tension slowly drain away and become replaced with an overwhelming sense of well-being.

Teaching our bodies to relax using autosuggestion is a wonderful way to calm our minds and increase our energy. Our mental and physical states greatly influence each other; bodily tension may cause mental aggravation or our agitated thoughts may drain our physical energy. Autosuggestion uses both our bodies and our minds to quiet and calm each other. Our bodies are a springboard to have something tangible to concentrate on, while our minds, once focused, use our unconscious to release our tension. Using these two states allows our energy to flow through our whole being, creating an overall feeling of calm. By consciously relaxing your body today, you will reduce your stress, increase your physical energy levels, and have greater peace of mind.
