Maintaining Your Mental Health

Sit in a comfortable position
(keeping a straight spine)

Close your eyes

Progressively relax all the muscles in your body

Begin to breath slowly, inhaling through your nose
and exhaling through your mouth.

As you exhale, repeat your chosen word or phrase.
If thoughts keep intruding don't dwell on them,
simply note them and continue to repeat
your chosen word(s).

Continue doing this for 10 to 20 minutes.

Practice this technique early or late in the day
for optimum results but wait at least two hours
after eating a meal.
