Yes, sticking out your tongue and smiling is a very cool way to bust your tension. You can do it anywhere, anytime. Go on, give it a go now.
As usual, once a month here at the Rejuvantion Lounge, I highlight 10 of my favourite rejuvenation tips which I have posted over at twitter. Twitter is a great place where I share quick daily tips (under 140 spaces) encouraging you to invite more rest, relaxation and rejuvenation into your life.

10 Tension Busting Tips To Grab On The Run:
1: Tension buster: Take a deep breath in, open your mouth, stick out your tongue, now ‘let it all go” by saying aaaah! Feel the release of toxic thoughts, energy and tension dissolve from your jaw, neck and face muscles.
2: Tranquilze yourself: Slow your breathing down. Breathe fully and deeply into your belly. Experience the tiny pause inbetween your inhale and exhale. Continue to follow your breath until you feel calmer. Your breath is a great tool for relaxation:
3: Take a chill pill: Close your eyes, rest your tongue on top of your gums, open your mouth very slightly, cup your hands over your ears, now listen to the sounds of the ocean playing inside your head.
4: Sedate your nerves with music: Dr. Emoto shares, that by listening to the Blue Danube, it will nourish your central nervous system: Read more about it here: http://tinyurl.com/5uz4gf
5: Soak your tension away: Treat yourself to a healing bath: I cup of espsom salts (magnesium sulfate) added to your bath water will relax your nervous system, draw out toxins, relax muscles and even reduce swelling.
6: Tension Buster: Hunched shoulders block the flow of blood to your brain, hold in stress and can restrict your breathing. Un-hunch your shoulders and feel your neck and spine lengthen.
7: Smile More Often: Are you holding tension in your face by frowning, squinting, clenching teeth, tense jaw or tight breathing? Smile and notice how all your face muscles instantly relax and soften.
8: Headache buster: Hold this finger yoga posture for 3 - 6 minutes. Join the tips of your thumb, index and middle finger. Fold your ring finger into the base of your thumb. Extend your little finger. Relax hands on top of your knees.
9: De-stress your eyes: Try some Chinese acupressure. Place your thumb and first finger, eitherside of the top of your nose - where your eye brows start. Close your eyes and hold firm pressure for a few minutes.
10: Calm yourself before bed: Dab the essential oil “vetiver’ onto the souls of your feet just before going to bed. Vetiver has a grounding and calming effect on your nervous system.

十个让你保持青春的小贴士

每月专题：十个让你保持青春的小贴士
是的，伸出你的舌头，微笑是缓解你紧张的很酷的方式。你可以随时随地做。来吧，现在就开始！
想往常一样，每个月到“恢复青春休息室”一次，从我粘贴在twitter网上的最喜欢的留驻青春小贴士中选十个。Twitter网是一个我和你们分享非常简短的健康小贴士（少于140字）的地方，这些小贴士可以使你们在生活中得到更多的休憩与放松。如果你热衷于接受我在twitter上的生活小贴士的话，请点击它，并且它是免费的。
十个让你保持青春的小贴士：
1：消除紧张：深呼吸，张开嘴巴，伸出你的舌头，嘴里发出“啊~~~”这样持续下去！这样你就会感觉释放掉了烦恼和能量，颚，颈部和脸上肌肉也得到了放松。
2：平静心情：放慢呼吸，再深深吸一口气，每次呼吸之后停止一段时间并体会一下这个暂停过程。反复重复呼吸直至你感到平静为止。调整呼吸是你放松的最好途径。
3：冷静一下：闭上眼睛，舌头顶住上牙龈，慢慢地张开嘴巴，双手捂住耳朵，脑海响起海浪声，然后用心倾听。
4：在音乐中放松神经：埃蒙特博士说过，通过听《蓝色多瑙河》，可以使你的中枢神经系统得到滋养。要想获得更多知识请访问：http://tinyurl.com/5uz4gf
5：渗滤紧张：享受一个治疗沐浴：在你的浴水中加入一杯泻盐（硫酸镁），它会使你松弛神经，排除毒素，放松肌肉，甚至能减少身上的肿胀。
6：打破紧张：隆起肩膀会阻止血液流向大脑，压力会阻碍你的呼吸。不要隆起肩膀，伸长你的脖子和脊椎。
7：多些微笑：你感觉到脸部的压力吗？你是否常出现双眉紧锁、双目斜视、咬紧牙关、抿紧双唇或呼吸加快？微笑，然后你就会瞬间感觉到面部肌肉变得松弛和舒缓。
8：消除头痛：保持这个手指瑜伽姿势3-6分钟。将拇指，食指和中指的指尖放在一起，无名指弯曲到拇指的根部，伸展小拇指，使双手放松置于膝盖上。
9：放松眼部：可以尝试一些中国的针(灸)压法。将拇指和食指放在鼻梁顶端两侧----眉毛开端的地方。闭上眼睛，用力压住它几分钟。
10：平静后再上床：上床之前往脚板心涂抹少许“岩兰草”（一个英国香薰品牌）香精油。岩兰草香油有镇静神经的功能。
