The Soothing Aspects of Touch
Your skin is the largest organ in your body and it is very sensitive to external stimulus.
This makes it a powerful tool in your ability to relax, unwind, and find relief from the stress that you’re feeling.
Water is one of the ways that you can feel instant relief. That can come from soaking in a warm bath or going for a swim. Likewise, you can give your skin a warm touch by simply sitting in the warmth of the sun or changing into your most comfortable clothes.
Among other things, you might try are taking a few minutes to stretch your muscles — possibly through a few simple yoga poses or tai chi movements— or getting a massage. Even taking a few minutes to play with and pet an animal can be amazingly beneficial to your mood.
