After a stressful experience, animals naturally shake to discharge excess energy. We can imitate this by simply shaking all the tension out of our bodies during the day to redirect the flow of energy and relax the body. For more information on ways to relax the body in a few short minutes, head to the link in our bio to read the latest post.

We often tighten our muscles without realizing it. Progressive Muscle Relaxation is an exercise that helps bring that awareness back. It involves tensing and relaxing various muscle groups. For more information, or to access our full PMR meditation, click the link in our bio.

You don't have to wait until the end of the day to take care of yourself.
Small moments matter, so if you spend your day in back-to-back meetings, staring at a screen, or constantly switching between tasks, try one of these quick nervous system resets:
-Progressive Muscle Relaxation
-Shake It Out
-A Quick Body Scan
Each one takes only a minute or two, but can help interrupt the buildup of stress before it turns into headaches, muscle tension, irritability, or burnout. Which one are you trying first?
.
Save this post for the next time your shoulders are up by your ears.

Stress doesn't just happen in our minds. It shows up in our bodies, too. By the end of the day, maybe your shoulders are creeping toward your ears, your jaw is clenched, or you're holding your breath without realizing it. That's because our bodies often continue carrying stress long after the stressful moment has passed.
The good news is that you don't always need a 30-minute meditation to feel better. Sometimes just one or two intentional minutes between meetings can help reset your nervous system and stop tension from building throughout the day.
