[QUOTE="Runica, post: 1788828, member: 469227"] For an instant relaxation technique, I breathe like a sleeping baby. Their bellies go in and out but the chest never moves. At the GP surgery, it can take my blood pressure down from 140/90 to 131/80 within 90 seconds - probably not as low as I would get at home, but an instant and measurable improvement for my DN to register. A nice trick if you feel yourself getting wound up, and don't mind your belly hanging out! Also try looking up 'mindfulness' with Dr Google, good for grounding if you can find a quiet 5 minutes. Congratulations on your weight loss, well done you! Also congratulations on finding the LCHF route so quickly, and on your self-reliance/self education. It can take a lot of time to adjust to any major changes in our lives, but I do believe you are on the right path. [/QUOTE]
