No Relax  016

How do you relax when running?
I just started cross country again and my coach tells me to relax. The problem is my body just won't relax for longer than about 30 seconds.

Pleaseee Help.

What you want is a texturizer. It's like a relaxer but it just loosens your natural curl pattern. I'd suggest you go to a salon that specializes in curly hair to get it done. People who don't have experience doing this might mistakenly relax the curls until its bone straight or not enough.

You should note one thing though – a texturizer will only work to make the your new natural growth curly and not the hair you've relaxed. Unless you want two different textures in your hair at once (the top texturized curly and the ends relaxed straight) you'll have to do one of two things:
A) either chopping the relaxed part of your hair off and working on texturizing the new natural growth for a short curly style
OR
B) retain your length by keeping the relaxed hair and apply the texturizer to only the new growth only. afterward you'll have to curl your relaxed hair to have it match your new growth. you can do that by having it styled in a strawset or twist out.

I've included some links on the subject below.

Good Luck :D

Relax your hands first. My cross country coach back in high school would make us run with holding a potato chip in our hands. If we broke the chip, then we had to run more. Really sucked, but I never clench my fists.
When running, occasionally move your shoulders around to loosen muscles….helps your minds think of relaxing upper body muscles.

Lie on your back and stretch your arms out straight beyond your head. Try to stretch your arms and feet away from each other.

I know you're probably really anxious to go ahead and relax your hair right now, but it really is best to give it some time after having had it braided. From my past experience, when I used to relax my hair, the only time a relaxer burned me was when I went the day after taking out my braids. I had meant to go to the stylist just for a wash, deep conditioner and a press of my new growth, but then decided to relax it. I really had no idea that it was WRONG to relax hair right after braids. Apparently, neither did my stylist. It hurt, I coudn't take it so I got up and told her that I needed it rinsed out right away. It scared me. The end result was a painful relaxer application or attempted applicaton, a relaxer that didn't take, too much new growth for me to handle with the two completely different textures left on my head and therefore lots of breakage. I didn't know how to take care that. That was before the hair boards and lots of information online I came across in the last couple of years regarding how to best care for both relaxed and natural hair (some links below)

The reason I felt like my head was on fire for the first time since I had started relaxing my hair was because my scalp was so sensitive from having been in the braids for two or two and a half months. Had I known, or even had an inkling that this would happen, I would have happily waited at least two weeks. You should do the same. In the meantime, keep your hair conditioned and moisturized.

I used to stretch and do some deep breathing. It always did the trick. Got me loose and centered and ready.

Greetings Icesk8er!

From what you have said, check your breathing. If you are tensing up when you are driving long distances, the first thing to do is to check that you are breathing normally. When you get onto the freeway, take some deep breaths, inhale slowly, exhale slowly.

The next thing to look at is the position of your foot on the gas pedal. If you have the reach, try to rest your foot on the gas pedal as well as either the firewall or the door. I am guessing that you are in the USA, and I am from Australia, so I am not sure which way the pedals are arranged for LH drive vehicles. But, by resting your foot on the firewall and the gas pedal, you will not have to concerntrate so hard on the pressure of your foot on the pedal. The other secret is not to wear high heels while driving! :)

Look at how you have the seat set up for yourself. If the seat is set up correctly, you should be able to have your arms straight out in front of you, with your wrists sitting on the top of the steering wheel. When you are driving, one hand should be able to reach the indicator wand without removing your hand from the steering wheel. The other should be at the 5 to or 5 past position on the wheel. If you have the indicator wand on the left, your left hand should be able to reach that. Your right hand should be at the 5 past the hour position near the top of the steering wheel. If the controls are the other way, then use the reverse positions.

When you are driving, have some soft relaxing music playing. Not music that is heavy metal or heavy beat. You want to encourage relaxation. While you are driving, allow a minimum of a 2 second gap to the vehicle in front of you. When the car in front of you goes past a fixed point on the road, count "One thousand and one, one thousand and two." If you get to the spot before you finish counting, slow down. If you get there after you finish counting, maintain your speed.

Do not be afraid to look around, check your mirrors on a regular basis, and your instruments as well. Ideally, you should be doing this about once a minute. By doing this you will be relaxing and gradually enjoying the view.

As you have also said that you have not been driving for too long, I would also suggest that your arms and legs are not used to the positions for long periods of time at this stage. This can be overcome by going for longer and longer drives. I know that it took a while for me to get used to driving long distances. Now, long journeys are no problem for me!

I hope that this is of some help to you. Enjoy your driving!

Ding.

I have extremely curly hair too. I use Pantene Shampoo and conditioner – in separate bottles, not the 2 in 1 – the "Smooth and Sleek" kind. I then use Pantene Curl smoothing Moose on wet hair. My hair drys with very sleek and smooth curls. They aren't at all crunchy or frizzy.

Hope this helps!

Exercise is execllent. Here are some techniques that might help too:

There are three major types of relaxation techniques:

Autogenic training. This technique uses both visual imagery and body awareness to move a person into a deep state of relaxation. The person imagines a peaceful place and then focuses on different physical sensations, moving from the feet to the head. For example, one might focus on warmth and heaviness in the limbs, easy, natural breathing, or a calm heartbeat.
Progressive muscle relaxation. This technique involves slowly tensing and then releasing each muscle group individually, starting with the muscles in the toes and finishing with those in the head.
Meditation. The two most popular forms of meditation in the U.S. include Transcendental Meditation (students repeat a mantra [a single word or phrase],) and mindfulness meditation (students focus their attention on their moment-by-moment thoughts and sensations).
How do relaxation techniques work?

When we become stressed, our bodies engage in something called the "fight or flight response." The fight or flight response refers to changes that occur in the body when it prepares to either fight or run. These changes include increased heart rate, blood pressure, and rate of breathing, and a 300 to 400 percent increase in the amount of blood being pumped to the muscles. Over time, these reactions raise cholesterol levels, disturb intestinal activities, and depress the immune system. In general, they leave us feeling "stressed out."

However, we also possess the opposite of the fight or flight response—the "relaxation response." This term, first coined in the mid-1970s by a Harvard cardiologist named Herbert Benson, refers to changes that occur in the body when it is in a deep state of relaxation. These changes include decreased blood pressure, heart rate, muscle tension, and rate of breathing, as well as feelings of being calm and in control. Learning the relaxation response helps to counter the ill effects of the fight or flight response and, over time, allow the development of a greater state of alertness. The relaxation response can be developed through a number of techniques, including meditation and progressive muscle relaxation. It is now a recommended treatment for many stress-related disorders.

What are relaxation techniques good for?

Research suggests that meditation can help improve a person's quality of life and reduce stress hormone levels.

Studies also show that relaxation techniques reduce the perception of pain. One study found that among patients undergoing colorectal surgery, those who listened to guided-imagery tapes before, during, and after the operation had less pain and needed fewer pain medications than those who did not.

Meditation has also been used as part of the treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder in Vietnam veterans and to break substance abuse patterns in drug and alcohol abusers. Relaxation techniques can also enhance coping skills in migraine sufferers and reduce stress as well as improve mood in those with cancer.

In general, studies show that with consistent practice, relaxation techniques can potentially reduce symptoms or improve outcomes in the following conditions:

premenstrual syndrome
pain
irritable bowel syndrome
anxiety
infertility
high blood pressure
high cholesterol
diabetes
panic disorders
chronic tension headaches
fibromyalgia
insomnia
psoriasis
arthritis
hyperactivity in children, as in attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
It is extremely important that usual medical care and advice by followed for these conditions as well. Relaxation techniques are meant to complement usual medical care.

Is there anything I should watch out for?

Relaxation techniques are considered to be very safe. There have been unusual cases where people become more, rather than less, anxious when using the techniques because of a heightened awareness of body sensations. Even more rare are reports of pain, heart palpitations, muscle twitching, and crying spells associated with the use of relaxation techniques. When this happens, it is often related to the process of relaxing and reflecting inward such that emotions become very poignant.

Experts advise people with schizophrenia and other forms of psychosis (thought disorders that distort reality) to avoid relaxation techniques.

Some ideas:

Eat a banana about an hour before (and brush your teeth before you play!). Bananas are reported to contain enzymes which can relax and help calm you. FYI, the tooth brushing won't help the relaxation, but it'll keep your clarinet in better overall shape.

Concentrate only on playing. Only let your mind think about each note as you're playing it and what you need to do to go to the next note.

Remember that your band director does not want you to play poorly! S/he is on your side. Band directors should not "play favorites" but should evaluate the playing only. They don't want you to mess up!

20 minutes? You'll just have to Go For It. Find a comfortable chair or couch that you can rest your entire body on, set your timer for 20 minutes and MAKE YOURSELF become as limp as a ragdoll. Close your eyes and dont think, except to imagine the scent and image of a rose, a beach to hear the waves. Choose your image before you lay down and use all your senses in your image. Thats it.
Ragdoll body, Imagination at work, reassurance of timer going off, precluding sleep.
It works for me. Good Luck.

- Stick with your friend, if she's outgoing then stay with her and dancing next to someone can lead to you dancing with them!

- Don't be afraid to have something too drink, just not TOO much you don't want to do anything you'll regret.. just a bit to loosen you up a bit.

- If a song you like comes on, pull your friend and just dance. Whatever comes to you, not like the funky chicken and all that cr*p, just.. smile, and step side to side, laugh, move your hips, loosen up. Have fun. :)

- Everyone is nervous in a nightclub, it's either their personality or the drink that makes them loosen up.

- No-one will judge you, people dance at nightclubs, don't be afraid to talk to anyone if they look nice/friendly. :)

There are things you can do to make yourself feel better even though you have a cold. You can take some Robitussin if you have it or any kind of cough medicine, rub Vicks Vapor Rub on your chest so you can breath better, buy some cough drops and use them. Eat chicken noodle soup and get plenty of Vitamin C, as in Orange Juice and rest as much as you can. I don't know if you have ever tried Cold Eeze but that works also. In addition, if you have difficulty breathing try some nose drops.
