I am over 40 and…my Neck Hurts!
There are many reasons for neck pain in today’s fast, moving society. Think about it….
- Did you get a good night’s sleep last night?
- What was the first thing you did upon getting out of bed?
- How long is your “to do” list?
- How long was your commute or carpool?
- What position did you sit in?
- How many times did you check your phone/tablet today?
- How many hours did you spend in front of a screen?
- How heavy is your backpack, purse, computer bag?
- Did you travel this week?
- How many work stations do you have?
I’m getting tense just think about it!… and I could go on and on and on…
No wonder your shoulders are hanging from your ears!!
Now stop…
Close your mouth…
Place your tongue on the roof of your mouth and rest your arms by your side…
BREATHE
What happens?
Do it again…no really, 5 breaths
IN……..OUT……..
IN……..OUT……..
IN……..OUT……..
IN……..OUT……..
IN……..OUT……..
It can be that simple to start.
Push reset. Use your diaphragm and relax your neck. Maybe it makes you cough, feel tight, uncomfortable…practice.
Tap into your deep CORE
Reset your nervous system.
Take 2 minutes…
What ever it is will still be there when you are done but YOU WILL HAVE MOMENTARILY RECHARGED.
Think it is hokey?
Try it…I challenge you…
BREATHE
