Easy Ways to Destress

This is an ASMR video. If you're not into the whispering or sound triggers, peek below for a quick guide to the tips I discuss in the vid. This list focuses on accessible tools - ones that can be accessed alone and on a minimal budget.

1. Self Massage → Using hands or tools:

   • Squash Ball (Any one will do)

   • Peanut Balls

   • Medium Size Balls

   • Massage Rollers. Any “massage roller stick” or “muscle pin roller” will do.
     

2. Body Positioning → Try your feet up the wall, place a weight on your chest, stomach or pelvis, raise your hands above your head while lying. Move from standing to sitting on a couch, try lying down.
   

3. Minimize Sensory Inputs → Use blackout curtains, eye masks, hats, sun glasses, screen flux, mouth guards, sweaters, blankets, pillows, bolsters, ear plugs.

   • Weighted Eye Pillows

   • Ear plugs
     

4. Deep Breathing
   

5. Release Held Tension → Scan the body (browns, shoulders, hands etc.) Mind your fidgets. Try tensing certain muscles to exaggerate the release.
   

6. Audio input → Switch on “relaxing music” on your favorite platform. Search out meditative or calming talking videos. You found this one, good job ;)
