The two primary causes of unnecessary muscular tension are feeling like you need to hurry (too much to do and not enough time to do it in) and feeling like you have to be perfect.
As I was getting some Network Spinal Analysis the other day, the practicioner told me, “Time is your best friend.” It was just what I needed to hear, because I walk around thinking time is my enemy, I don’t have enough, and that causes unnecessary muscular tension and tight ankles in particular. When I walk down the street thinking, “Time is my best friend,” I feel happier and I expand into life.
