How to relax your optic nerve?

Okay, so you want to know how to relax your optic nerve, huh? Let me tell you, as someone who spends way too much time glued to screens, I totally get it! My eyes get so tired and strained.

I found this trick – it’s seriously simple, but it feels amazing. You know, it’s called “palming.” Basically, you just rub your hands together to warm them up, then gently cup them over your closed eyes. Make sure you’re creating total darkness – no peeking!

Seriously, the total darkness is just…so soothing. It’s like a sensory deprivation tank, but for your eyes! I try to take a minute or two, and just breathe deeply. Sometimes, I even imagine I’m on a beach somewhere. Isn’t it crazy how much tension we hold in our eyes?

Honestly, it’s like a mini-vacation for my optic nerve! I can feel the tension melting away. And then, when I slowly open my eyes, wow! Everything seems brighter, clearer, almost like I’ve just woken up from a nap.

I don’t know the science behind it exactly, but maybe it’s the warmth, or the darkness just gives them a break? But whatever it is, it works. I’m definitely adding this to my daily routine, especially after those long coding sessions! Have you ever tried it? Let me know if it works for you! I’m betting it will.
