We do a lot of work each day but we spend very little time thinking about what's happening to us due to the kind of work we do. Unknown to us stress and strain creep in. I believe that you are sitting now. Why not check these things:
- Is your shoulder rigid?
- Are your thigh muscles tight?
- Are your toes tensed?
- Are there wrinkles around your forehead as you are reading this?
- How tight are the muscles around your eye?
Well I am not sure how many of these you are feeling right now, but there are times when these happen unknowingly - When on the train, while reading, cooking, using the computer, shaving etc etc. You muscles may be stiff even when you are in bed doing nothing.
- Overview: Our mind is always in motion. It travels faster than light and is never at one place. This is it's nature. Use your mind to concentrate on the different parts of your body and try relaxing the muscles. It will surely help.
- What to do:
- Concentrate on your body starting from your forehead. Relax the forehead skin/muscle if it is tight.
- Concentrate on your eyes next. Relax the muscles around the eyes if they are tight.
- Similarly slowly concentrate on the other parts (shoulder, arms, toes etc etc.) and relax the muscles if they are tensed.
- If you use a keyboard often, you might want to loosen up your fingers.
- Notice the difference.
- Make a quick pass again on all your body parts just to make sure that you are not straining any of them.
- Feel the difference....
You can try this anywhere. Just remember to loosen up your muscles every once in a while. Try this in your bed just before you fall asleep. You will feel fresh in the morning!
