In fact there is nothing fixed for a method for relaxing in particular. Sometimes working online gives me perfect relax while at times I close my eyes for couple of minutes and feel better.
Not a bad way to relax. Closing eyes for two minutes means you are detaching tour thoughts from the external world and going in to a trance, a half conscious state. Yoga also does the same.
Visualization is also an effective technique to relax within a short time. I used to do this when I was working full time. It used to help me a lot from the pressures of work.
Visualization of what.? If your visualization leads to positive thoughts and living in the present, it's OK.
Visualization of a relaxing, quiet place where I see myself relaxing , happy and enjoying myself. It is the most effective form of quick relaxation that I use in a stressful environment.

Yes visualization of beautiful green nature with cascading waterfalls, or a serene beach or whatever that we love, for a few minutes gives us immense relaxation and restful feeling. We were taught this technique during one of our corporate training programmes.

Visualizing as if you are relaxing is certainly beneficial. It acts like Placebo effect.
It doesn't act like a placebo effect, it is called harnessing the power of the brain. Its for real. I teach it to the teens whom I work with.
