Being In a Restful State is Beneficial
When being in a restful state the individual is calm and feels less tension. It is no secret that when a being is in a calm and pleasant state they perform at their most optimal. In any case, when the body is experiencing too much tension it becomes a distraction and will lead to poor performance. Even the central nervous will experience an uncomfortable sensation. There are many parts of the brain and one, in particular, that is most beneficial is the function of the parasympathetic nervous system. This controls the rest and digest function of the body. If it is functioning the person will be calm and present. It also regulates the person’s metabolic rate.
The Body Functions Best When Relaxed
The whole being performs well when there is no tension within themselves. When being in a restful state the individual has enhanced focus and awareness. So, there will be minimal distractions when going about their day. Stress is also a distraction since it can affect bodily and brain processes. Therefore it leads to sickness and does damage to the whole body. Keep in mind when experiencing internal or external trauma the vessel itself needs time to recover depending on how much damage was done.
The Parasympathetic Nervous System
As previously stated the parasympathetic nervous system (PNS) is responsible for the rest and digest function of the body. PNS can relax a person who had been through stress. There are techniques to stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system and when doing this it can decrease the time for the body to recover. This is something valuable for people who tend to spend so much time decompressing after a hard day or some other issue they are experiencing.
Here are some things a person can do:
- Laughing
- Exercising
- Breathing exercises/Meditation
- Singing
- Cold water exposure
In many activities, breathing is a requirement (as it should be with everything) and the task above will encourage a person to take deep inhalations and exhalations. There is a connection between the diaphragm (located underneath the lungs) and the PNS. As a person takes deep breaths this stimulates the PNS which causes the person to relax.
