I'm feeling stressed and I want to try progressive muscle relaxation. What is it?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
Progressive muscle relaxation is a technique where you tense and then relax different muscle groups in your body to release physical tension and calm your mind.<|im_end|>

That sounds helpful. How do I start?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
Start by finding a quiet and comfortable place to sit or lie down, then begin with your toes and tense them for a few seconds before releasing. Move up through your body, tensing and relaxing each muscle group in turn.<|im_end|>
