What is Progressive Muscle Relaxation?
Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR) is a technique where you tense one group of muscles at a time, hold the tension for a few seconds, and then completely relax that muscle group. This process helps you become more aware of the difference between tension and relaxation, which can be very helpful for reducing stress and anxiety. It's a great way to calm your body and mind.
