Chapter 3 - Managing Stress - Mental Health Guide for Seafarer

R
Relaxation, Mindfulness and Controlled Breathing are all ways
to relax your body. They work by calming your body and your
mind and reversing the physiological changes which happen in
our bodies at times of stress. It is physically impossible to be
stressed and relaxed at the same time. Practicing these
techniques helps us to build up some resilience to stress and
makes it easier to use the techniques when we need them.
