because of my fight against this mood your post is asking for a good spanking!
Sorry in advance --forgive me for my childish fings.
- don't be inactive.Have the phone in reach for 911 put on music when you're alone & crawl. Just force yourself you know you want to - no one's watching--damn good job too! it's not a competition. Try to move your entire body, arms, hips, neck & shoulders. But don't put on something too fast or you'll implode --hence that phone. You want to use the dance & music to relax & release tension, not add to it. Music is so healing & our body inately knows to move in rhythm to it.
And when you wake up in the morning, give yourself a few extra hours to stretch & curl about in bed. When I stretch, it feels so good that I make little grunting, sighing noises...a good change from the screams from the night terrors. Now my boy kitty imitates me when he stretches. Twist from side to side, letting your body dictate what to stretch. You don't need to force it, it should feel good. A afternoon stretch warms up your muscles & gets blood circulating to muscles unused & stiff through the cramp ridden night.
And try to be aware of your muscles & body through the day tell them to co-operate or you'll desert them. When you feel tension building, let your shoulders slump. Wiggle them around. Shift your shoulder joints back & forward, up & down. Do it smoothly or you'll get neck ache for years. Sag your mouth open you know similar to the drooling that often occurs when you try a new med. It'll all help to loosen up the tension.
There's no one cure in fact there isn't any. It's an ongoing nightmare involving diff tactics to keep us hopefull & quiet. Humans weren't meant to sit or stand in one position for long. Don't force your body to do what it's not meant to...get up and SNAP OUT OF IT.Hopefully I forgiven..
