If  you  want  to  learn           to  relax,  one  simple  way  is  to  remind  yourself  that  most  of  the  things  that  we  worry  about  never  even  happen.  It  is  good  to  think  ahead  to  make  sure  that  future  problems  don’t  show  up,          many  people  spend  a  lot  of  time  worrying  about  things  that  are  totally  out  of  their  control.  Learn  to  relax  by  only  focusing  on  things  you           control.  Relaxing  doesn’t  always  mean  sitting  back  and          doing  anything.  If  you  have  things  to  do,  you  can  do  them  in  a  relaxed  manner.
You  can  still  relax  and  do  all  the  things  you  need  to  do.  Just         you  have  demands  and  responsibilities,  it  doesn’t  mean  you  have  to  do  everything  in         stressed  manner.  The  key  is  to  simplify  your  life.  Just  relax  by  focusing         the  moment.
