Relax! Tension is harmful!

Our bodies react to the world around us and within us in many ways. Our bodies act like sponges they can pick up positive energy or trap the negative energy of stress and tension. We all have had those moments of intense muscle pain whether in our back, neck, or our favorite, those doggon traps.
Most of us are so used to keeping our bodies bond up in tension that we don’t even realize we are tense. So, here are some of my favorite tension reducers:

1. Connect with your body learn to tell when it is tense. Do a 5 minute body scan to check where you are feeling tight and where it hurts.

2. Then learn to relax. Explore different options. For example, a massage, meditation or soaking in a hot bath. Last but not least my favorite exercise.

When taking time to explore things that bring you pleasure it will be easier for you to realize when you are tense and can do something about it. So, if your ready to relax and not sure how to get there or need some assistance, call me for a 30 minute complimentary coach call.
