Let Go.

"Every muscular rigidity retains the history and meaning of its origin." -- Wilhelm Reich

Let Go. . .

. . . of the tension in your neck and shoulders.

. . . of your fears.

. . . of your restrained breath - let it flow.

. . . of your anger.

. . . of the tension in your abs, back, butt and thighs.

. . . of your sadness.

. . . of the tension in your hands and feet.

. . . of your frustration from work.

. . . of your serious demeanor, if only for a minute. Allow yourself to have fun and live freely, even as you withstand the demands of a hectic schedule.

This doesn't imply that you shouldn't experience your emotions or that you shouldn't acknowledge your stressors.

Experience your emotions. Acknowledge your stressors. But don't bottle them up, fail to deal with them and enable them to wreak havoc on your body.

Instead, use them. Let them evolve through you. Turn them into a constructive energy that fuels you, that forces you to look at yourself and grow -- that provides you enhanced self-empowerment.

Otherwise. . .

. . . your drive may suffer.

. . . your performance may suffer (you can't move well when you're excessively tense).

. . . your motivation may dwindle.

. . . you'll put yourself on the path of perpetual stress, leaving you open to fatigue, apathy or illness.

Master the art of letting go, so all that you strive for can more easily become a reality.
