Why your muscles feel tense even when you're “relaxing”

Ever feel like your muscles are always on?
Like you’re trying to rest... but your body didn’t get the memo?

This is what happens when the nervous system gets stuck in fight-or-flight.
Your brain senses a threat (even a subtle one), and your body prepares to fight, flee, or freeze.

That means:

• Muscles tense

• Breath shortens

• Your mind spins

And it creates a cycle.
The more tension your body holds, the more “danger” your brain detects.
So it keeps looping: body triggering brain, brain triggering body.

This isn’t a mindset issue.
It’s a regulation issue.

And the good news?

You can start to shift it…not by thinking your way out, but by speaking the language your nervous system understands:
✨ Movement to discharge stress
✨ Touch to re-establish safety
✨ Breath to signal that the threat has passed

This is where real healing begins.

Your body isn’t broken. It’s protecting you.
You just need the right tools to help it feel safe again.
