to your mind and a great practice to add to your routine. Begin with your head. Notice any tension you're holding. Release your jaw, then your shoulders, then your neck. Reach your arms out wide and take a deep breath in. Then out. Shake out your arms, wrists, and hands. Shake out each leg and with each shake, allow the tension to leave your body. Observe these sensations as they move through your body. Anger, sadness, and frustration can all be helpful. Emotions. For example, anger may be letting us know a boundary has been crossed, a danger is present, or our needs are not being met, but we can make peace with these feelings, allowing them to exist in our bodies without harming our health or relationships. Bring your focus back to your body. Is there anywhere you're still feeling stuck? Connect with those muscle groups, intentionally tensing them, and then holding that tension for a few seconds. Slowly release that tension and allow the feeling of relief to flow through you. Take a series of deep breaths in for five out for five. If your mind begins to wander, bring yourself back to the sensations in your body. Check in with your emotions. Have these feelings given you any new information? Are you in touch with what you might need right now? Maybe it's an act of self care or a calm conversation. Be gentle with yourself.
