I didnt realize how tense my body was until fairly recently. Its very subtle. No one would notice. I didnt even notice. Most people would think that I’m a fairly relaxed guy, but I’m truly not. My body is working overtime to hold in all the strees, fear, and tension that I’m afraid to process and release. I think this is why I’m not enjoying life. I’m too afraid to just relax. I think all we really want in life is to enjoy it to its fullest, and I’ve been trying to do this, but it always keeps coming back to my body, and how unsatisfied I am to hold in all this tension.
Anyway, I’ve found some great methods to relax and release some of this tension. They work great, although personally I’ve never had the courage to release the issue at its core, even though I’ve had many genuine opportunities to.
Most people arent aware of just how tense they are, so sometimes they need dramatic examples to show just how tense and unhappy they are.
CBD (cannabis) which is now legal here in Canada, which essentially is a non psychoactive body relaxant, has shown me just how tense I am in every day life. Tense in so many ways, and in so many areas of the body. Give it a try! Start low and go slow.
TRE (trauam release exersises) is another way. Essentially you prime your body into vibrating through exercises and that releases stress gradually. This is what I’m currently working with and it really works. If you are upset and feel like you cant Express yourself cathardically, then TRE will solve this. At times where I’ve felt the need to scream or be extra dramatic, the vibrating trims it all away (temporarily unless I get it at the root trauam) and I instantly feel lighter and more clear, more confident etc.
The potential here is huge. I’ve been experiencing just little tastes of what it’s like to have a relaxed body. I’m better performing in sports, better at interacting with women, perform better musically and so forth. And I can feel the potential for more. Imagine truly feeling amazing in your body during ever moment of life and really feeling connected with everything. I’ve felt before that everything feels amazing and being in my body feels so delicious and cozy. A truly satisfying state. But I’ve never went fully into this as I am still afraid to process the real trauma at its roots so it can be permentnat. Something I’m still working on and soon hopefully will be processing. I know my body cant hold on for much longer anyway.
Thanks for reading!
Tim,
Thank you for sharing. I don't have much to contribute here except to invite you to consider being relaxed during a competitive interaction. That would put your skills to the test in a major way. At least it does for me.
