Release the Tension

Yesterday when I woke up, I realised I was tense. My shoulders were tense, my jaw was tense, even my eye muscles felt tense! Now it’s one thing to end the day feeling tense, but to start it feeling tense? Had I had a very stressful sleep? I realised that there’d obviously been a bit of a build up of tension so spent the day yesterday consciously relaxing whenever I thought of it, and noticing where I’m holding tension.

Join me – take a moment now to scan your body – are you holding tension in your scalp, your eyes, your jaw, your neck, your shoulders? Everywhere you find tension, release it. Move down the body all the way to your toes, releasing tension where you find it. Take a breath and mentally say to your muscles ‘relax’. When you’re done, get on with your day. Repeat as often as you feel it’s necessary. If tension is something you’ve been living with for a while, you may need to do it often to begin with, but it’s worth it.

Be relaxed as you go about your day.

Scan And Release

Sounds like an IT process doesn’t it? But this is not about technology, it’s about your body. I sat down this morning to watch a bit of the tennis and realised that my shoulders were quite tense (and I wasn’t that bothered about the outcome of the game!). Scanning my body, I realised that I was also holding tension in my feet (wierdly!) and in my jaw!

What about you? Scan your body now – where is the tension? Now release it. Aaaaah, that’s better. Repeat often – we hold a lot of tension out of stress, habit, pain and fear…but then when the stress, pain or fear have gone we keep tension out of habit. So make a new habit and let it go!
