Answer 1

Answer:

Practicing progressive muscle relaxation will help Jane to feel less tension and anxiety from being stuck in traffic.

Explanation:

Progressive muscle relaxation is a technique first developed in the 1930s by Edmund Jacobson and it involves consciously tightening one muscle group at a time and then releasing the muscles so that you feel a relaxation phase. You should then progressively continue practicing this with all the muscle groups.  Progressive muscle relaxation (PMR) is considered a deep relaxation technique. Doctors have been teaching patients about this technique in order to help them control stress and their anxiety levels. It has also been said to help in the treatment of insomnia, and it reduces the symptoms of some forms of chronic pain experienced by patients.
