Take A Chill Pill

Aug 2, 2021 by Morgan Fontaine

I have noticed that a lot of people are full of stress and anxiety. Their necks are tight, they complain about their traps being tight, feeling like they're in knots all the time, having trouble moving because they're stiff and achy and holding all this stress and inflammation. It’s not a fun place to be. Towards the end of last week I was really feeling it myself. I was carrying a ton of stress and feeling like an emotional mess. Mentally I was fried and my anxiety was crazier than I would like to admit. My body was holding onto all of my different worries and my body felt heavy, tight, and twisted. I’m proud of the fact that this hasn’t happened to me in quite some time and I thank the little things I do on a regular basis for that. I have put things in place that I do as often as I can so that I don’t always feel like a tight ball of stress.
