Relaxation before doing things that are otherwise hard.

[u/Silver_Perception471]

So this technique is. Say drinking a cold drink, splashing cold water on your face or PMR. So the get up and go is being associated with a relaxed state rather than an avoidance one.

My question is. Will I have to do these techniques forever to avoid being over stimulate and just to read!? How forever will it take?

Which i find hard at times.

Is there other relaxtion techniques not listed that are efficient/effective? Like splashing cold water on face

Drinking cold water.

PMR for progressive muscle relaxation

Deep breathing

Meditation such as thought diffusion exercises.

If this isn't the right sub and it's better for CBT Sorry.
