Progressive muscle relaxation (PMR)

There are many kinds of stressors that make up a "stress continuum" and they range from chronic stressors (such as poor health or financial worries) to immediate stressful events that occur in everyone's life (Wheaton 88). PMR is often used following stress caused by "daily hassles" or immediate, one-time, stressful events. After fighting traffic to get to work, for example, you might try PMR before starting your day. Discrete stressful events, such as receiving bad news (a project needs to be redone or a child is sick), also call for PMR. Chronic and discrete stressors affect your health in different ways, but they are also interconnected as each type has "indirect effects through other stressors" (Wheaton 110). When you are incapable of coping with event stressors you will have less resistance to chronic stressors. PMR, by managing daily stress, fights chronic stressors' ability to affect your general well-being.

Your PMR sessions can last from 5-10 minutes or as long as 30 m
