4. the Shoulder Shrug
We tend to take out our tensions on specific parts of our bod-
ies. Shoulders are one of my favorite targets. Without knowing I’m
doing it, I tense my shoulders as I work. If I don’t catch myself, I
end up with a sore neck and shoulders and a pounding headache.
I can break the tension, save my shoulders, and avert the head-
ache by remembering to relax my shoulders and rotate them slowly
and gently for a couple of minutes. On particularly bad days, the
results are dramatic. My shoulders seem to drop several inches,
and a soothing warmth flows up my neck.
I never even realize how tense I am until I unclench my muscles
and relax. How about you? Are you tensing and clenching while
you work?
