View Full Version : Has anyone noticed this?
...so there i was reading a book thinking i was quite relaxed when i noticed i was gripping the book so tightly i left marks on the pages....just goes to show how your subconscious works........and i thought i was relaxed :shrug:
i notice that with my jaw. I think im relaxing but when i really notice, i find that im clenching my teeth and my jaw hard. haha. it's hard to really be completely relaxed.
Snap! I also notice that I'm holding my breath sometimes.

I have just read the 2 posts above and noticed i am doing the same...oh and also crossing my legs at the bottom tightly....so much for being relaxed :doh:
I also feel like im holding my breath! Very scary
I have been attending a stress control course and one week covered how important relaxation was. Relaxed body helps relaxed mind.
I notice that i go around with my shoulders up round my ears, gives me pins and needles in my arms. Going to practice the free CD I got on the course!!
I do the same, I can be sitting 'relaxing' and notice I am gripping on to my arm or item of clothing and all hunched up.
No wonder we feel run down and full of aches and pains.
that course sounds fab sunshine... wish i could find a course like that....
My Gp referred me OH NO! It is based on CBT and lots of people attend but we do not interact. It is called 'stress control'and based on course by Jim white a psychologist in Glasgow. Perhaps there is something similar near you? It is good too in that week 2 discussed the physical symptoms of anxiety, stress and panic. Last week we got some strategies about how to deal with irrational and catastrophic thoughts.
I think it has helped me understand myself a bit more and why I feel so physically rubbish a lot of the time.
