Your body grips onto stored emotions and tension much more than your mind does. It goes unnoticed until you pause and listen to the messages from your body. How often do you listen?
There is a lot to hold onto when going through perimenopause. During the transition, you may be losing loved ones, going through divorce or your children may be flying the nest. Everyday situations that cause your nervous system to go into fight or flight or shut down completely. These times can be tough but you can make them manageable by releasing tension from the parts of your body that habitually store it. Today, spend a little time scanning your body for tense areas.
Is your jaw tight?
Are your shoulders lifted?
Is your belly tight?
Let your breath visit these places and release the tension with every exhale. Sometimes we can only let go once we notice we are holding on.
