When the body feels stress or strong emotions, it will resort to muscle tension and tightness. Intentionally tightening and releasing those muscles can act as a body scan with a physiological component, letting you let go of the tension you might’ve been holding.
Progressive muscle relaxation requires focus, but it can be done anywhere and anytime — making it a great relief tool to keep in your mental health toolkit.
