Building Habits: Noticing Tension

I’ve noticed that I can be rather uptight and this expresses itself as tension in my physical body. And since I feel that tight muscles and shallow breathing don’t really help me much, I decided to do something about it.

It wasn’t anything fancy, I set the alarm on my phone to ring 4 times a day. That signaled me to do a quick check for muscle tension in my body and to simply relax. In fact, my alarm literally just rang again so if you’ll excuse me…

4 times a day for 7 days. If I can still do math that╬ô├ç├ûs 28 checksΓö¼├íthis week. I╬ô├ç├ûve learned that consistency of action is probably the biggest factor in building new habits for me, and I have noticed myself doing random spot-checks even without my alarm. So yay for me 🙂

IΓÇÖm going to let the alarms run for another week. 56 checks by next Sunday. Besides, who likes a tight ass?
