Crafting, dancing, playing an instrument and even reading can also help you focus on something that calms you and relieves tension and tension headaches.
If you can’t focus on something calming trying taking a nap or just lying down to rest your eyes. The goal is to forget about all the things that are causing stress and tension in your life. Whatever you need to do to get rid of those feelings can help improve your tension headache.
