This is the easiest recipe for a bad mood or feeling of panic
Each of us has a “fight or flight” mechanism at the genetic level. But since it is not applicable in modern society, we began to ardently deny our nature. Instead of yelling at the offender, each of us, gritting his teeth more than once, listened to all the accusations to the end. Instead of crying, I suppressed the tears and could not breathe out, it felt like something was stuck in my throat.
All of these reactions lead to the fact that our muscles are pinched, hardened, and because of this we feel bad. The worst thing is that this happens over the course of so many years that we no longer feel this tension. But this does not mean that it passes without a trace, it reminds of itself in constant pain in the neck, back, headache or toothache. Because of it, panic attacks or an incomprehensible feeling of excitement appear, which is taken as if from nowhere.
What can we do to relax if we are in constant tension?
There is a special technique. If we cannot relax our muscles on our own, we need to make them relax on their own. To do this, they need to be strained even more so that they no longer have the opportunity to remain squeezed.
The exercise should be done while sitting. Starting from top to bottom, tighten your forehead (you can wrinkle or frown), then wrinkle your nose, put on a smile (as wide as you can), clench your teeth, tighten your neck (as if you want to throw your head back, but something is bothering you). Then go to the body, tighten your shoulders (raise them as high as possible), tighten your back (bring your shoulder blades together and try to lower them down), tighten your arms (as bodybuilders do, showing off their muscles), clench your fists. Moving on to the lower body. Tighten your buttocks so that your thighs do not rest on the surface you are sitting on. "Pull in" the perineum, twisting the pelvis, tense the leg muscles (as bodybuilders do, showing off their muscles), tuck the toes under you. Slowly count to 10 and relax the muscles of your entire body at the same time. Exhale. If necessary, take a few deep breaths in and out.
This exercise can be done several times a day.

Relax Your Sex
Author: Arina Kholina Source: snob.ru People don't like each other. Therefore, their sex is so-so. Not in the sense of "they do not like" when they meet or live together - and, behold, they do not like very much. And when they don't know how to be in love, they don't know how to admire, and open up, and be kind, cheerful, happy.
LET YOURSELF BE
It would seem, how can you allow yourself to be, if I already exist? How can you afford it or not? Who or what can prevent this? Everything is very simple and complicated at the same time! As strange as it may seem, but usually we ourselves do not allow ourselves to be.
Let Yourself Feel
Remember Bree on Desperate Housewives? Refined appearance, exemplary demeanor and emotional icing. One day she finds out in surprise that she herself suffers from such ideal coldness and does not understand her, the family does not appreciate it.
Let Yourself Be Lazy
Our inaction (laziness) can have many reasons. For example, it can be formed by such parental prescriptions as: "Do not act!", "Do not achieve success!". Self-esteem-killing negative beliefs can also create internal conflict.
"Let Everyone In, Not Let Anyone Out?" About Personal Boundaries
"Let everyone in, not let anyone out?" About personal boundaries. Does this happen to you? A friend (colleague, relative) speaks and speaks without stopping (about himself, his problems or successes) and you no longer know how to get rid of him, annoying.
