Dear Chau:

You are welcome and thank you for your good night wish (in an hour, for me).

Tension building without noticing- happens most often, to maybe most people. It is therefore important to notice, or pay attention, aka being mindful and notice when you start getting tense, maybe your muscles are tight, maybe your breathing is shallow… notice where you get tense, and then do something to relieve that tension, anything from a short walk, a yoga stretch, focusing on the sounds around you, etc.

When we are tense, not calm, old pathways are activated. Calm is where new pathways thrive.
