    Once you've had a nice bath or shower, turn on some relaxing music. Now you'll begin a relaxation technique where you start in your toes and tense your muscles for 30 seconds. Then you relax them for 30 seconds and repeat. Do this until you make it all the way to your shoulders, don't focus on one muscle for too long.
