Relaxation can be induced by diaphragmatic breathing at a rate of five seconds for breathing in and five seconds breathing out. This can be helped through reciting the rosary (see BMJ) on topic. Closing your eyes at the same time and visualizing a pleasant scene where you felt relaxed. In other words a guided imagery type of meditation while thiking the word relax on each exhalation.
See Herbert Benson on the relaxation response. Finally, distributed practice and chunking enable better recall.
Thankyou James,After researching I found that women turned to religion in stressful situations. Men seem to search for answers on the internet and have a more practical way of dealing with stress. I have finished the proposal now and will let you know how I get on. Thankyou again for your advice, It has been a great help in gathering research for the full write up.
