5. Build Relaxation and Stress Relief Exercises Into Your Day at Least Three Times a Week
Stress exacerbates fibromyalgia. Relaxation techniques help manage stress and anxiety, help with sleep, and make it easier to manage the pain.
Different relaxation techniques work better for different people, so experiment with different activities to find what works for you. Some people benefit best from exercise; others prefer meditation, yoga, tai chi or mindfulness activities; other people find relaxation by doing an intensely focused hobby, such as drawing, sewing or crafts. It should be an activity that focuses the mind on the present and relaxes the body.
