Floor time, an effective stress reduction method
This trend, called "Floor Time", is a gentle relaxing method that helps reduce stress. When you lie on the floor, your body will feel supported, and your mind will also calm down. According to Dr. Sapare Rohit, a psychiatrist in India, "when the body is in contact with the ground, the brain receives a signal that this is the time to rest, thereby helping to reduce stress and slow heart rate." This helps to relax the body, dispel anxiety and bring a sense of lightness to both the body and mental.
Research has shown that lying on the ground helps the body connect to the Earth's natural charge, thereby helping to reduce inflammation, pain and stress. In addition, being in a quiet space also creates conditions for deep breathing, thereby increasing a feeling of calmness and reducing anxiety.
Even lying on the floor for 5-10 minutes a day can help you feel more comfortable, says Dr. Rohit. If done regularly, the body and mind will gradually recognize this as a signal to relax.
How to do floor time
To do this method, you just need to choose a clean and quiet area in the house or workplace, where you can lie comfortably on the floor. No need to worry about your posture, you can lie on your back with your knees bent or straight, your arms and legs straight, as long as you feel comfortable and relaxed. Spend at least 5 - 10 minutes a day doing this method. Do it regularly, you will feel a clear difference in reducing stress and improving mental health.
Who should avoid this method?
Although this method is suitable for most people, not everyone can apply it. People who have difficulty sitting or standing off the floor, especially due to joint problems or back pain, may feel uncomfortable when trying this method. For those who feel uncomfortable in quiet moments, or have emotional difficulties when facing calmness, they also need to pay attention when doing it.
