You may notice tension building in your body without even realising it - tight shoulders, a clenched jaw, discomfort in your stomach or breathing that feels quicker or shallower.
Given what you're seeing and hearing in the news - and perhaps experiencing in your own life - it makes sense that your body may be holding some of that stress too.
When your nervous system senses possible danger, it automatically prepares your body to respond. Muscles tighten, breathing can change and your body becomes ready for action. This is part of the way your nervous system tries to protect you.
The difficulty comes when your body continues holding that tension even when there is nothing you need to respond to right now. Over time, you may become so accustomed to carrying tension that you barely notice it until your shoulders ache, your jaw feels tight or you realise how difficult it is to physically relax.
Your body knows how to prepare for danger.
Sometimes, it needs a little help recognising when it can let go.
Learning to notice where you're holding tension - and discovering what helps your body release some of it - can gradually create more moments of feeling physically settled and at ease.
