I am wondering if anyone else has a sort of....tension placer behavior.
Whenever I do a body-scan (an exercise to be more mindful and get back "in my body"), I find that I'll have 1-to-many muscles completely tensed.
For example, while driving to work I may do a body-scan and discover that my whole right leg is completely tensed and rigid, along with both forearms.
When I wake up in the middle of the night and am trying to get back to sleep I'll scan and realize that both my legs, back and arms are tensed/rigid.
When I scan while at work, my left shoulder is usually tensed up and forward - sort of hunched; my left shoulder is the one closest to the door of my office.
This appears to be my normalized body experience/posture.
Does anyone else experience this or is it just me?
Thanks,
Dylan
