Yes, you read that right! This technique truly exists, and there is a full book that was written about this subject.1
The funny thing is that it seems to work for me. I incorporate it into my daily stretching routine, and I find that focusing on this activity in addition to my exercising actually provides a greater level of stress relief than stretching alone. The author says you can constrict your anus discreetly at any time … while commuting, in a meeting, or wherever convenient. Just remember to do it 100 times in one session.
So give constricting your anus a try. If nothing else, it will help you focus and, at best, it will decrease your stress.
Please note that there is no guarantee a particular stress relief tool will work for you. Thus you must take complete responsibility for using them and for your own physical and emotional wellbeing.
