There are a lot of stress relaxation techniques which are very much personalized. Some relaxation techniques for anxiety that work for few may not work for other. You may get temporary stress relief from body relaxation techniques but you get ultimate relief from relaxation techniques of mind.
Take a structured approach to total relaxation:
Going random, doing a bit of this and bit of those relaxation techniques is going to give you hardly any result. And at last you lose your faith in all these methods. But remember stress originates from mind, the physical stress symptoms are the result only, not the cause.
So relaxation techniques involving only your physical health never gives desired result. What you get is temporary stress relief. So you need to work upon both. You start with relaxing the body and only then prepare to relax the mind. This structured approach will help you in coping stress.
