Think small. Slow, delicious movements. Micro-stretches. Melting. Flowing.

Yes, active exercises can be unwinding, especially for emotional stresses.

If you use sweaty activities to unwind, you're invited to check in with your body an hour later and see if it has tensions it wants to unwind with mindful movements guided by deeper listening.

If you tend to unwind by sitting, watching, listening, eating, and drinking… consider spending 3 minutes allowing your body to move β€” not in "dance" but in unpredictable shifts in posture and stretches as small as you can imagine.

Why? Because tensions that build up over time tend to impact the fascia (the tissue that holds us together!). Fascia responds to slower movements. Think melting more than stretching. Letting gravity slowly take more of the load.

Unwinding some aspects greatly benefits from skilled presence. The craniosacral system can hold deep tensions that a trained bodyworker can help unwind. Emotional traumas and their frozen tensions benefit from EFT Tapping together with a professional, friend, or in a group.

It's definitely not a weakness to acknowledge that some burdens are easier and safer to set down with help.

And it's wisdom often acquired through intense pain that our body-mind is designed to move to unwind… and not just at the end of the day when we're too exhausted to really pay attention.

Take a powerful pause and unwind with slow, delicious movement.
