Since i was little, ive slept with my shoulders right up to my ears.
Whenever i get tense or nervous, i begin to move my shoulders upwards and bring my arms in as a defensive mechanism.
When I used to work, customers who dealt in reiki and such would always comment on how i held 'a lot of tension' around my neck and shoulders.. though at the time I couldnt see what they meant.
Over the last 2 years or so , ive noticed in photos that i do not have a smooth downward line on my neck and shoulders that my friends do, an in comparison it makes me looked like im hunching, when im not..
Now more recently, in the morning, my shoulders are so painfully tensed that I feel like my shoulders are crunching and clicking very loudly when i try to move them to make myself more comfertable.
I dont know how people sleep with thier shoulders so far away from thier ears, it seems like if i tried i would have to make a consious effort to correct it.. and at times i have tried, when i start relaxing, my shoulders naturally fall back up to my ears...
its starting to become painful now, and i dont know what to do to change it.
i cant afford massages and yoga classes or anything of cost, and i hate taking long baths, because i ALWAYS get a panic attack (im more of a shower girl)...
what can i do to help relieve this... any ideas?
thanks guys, xxxx
