10. I am in physical therapy at present and the therapist can't believe how tense

my back muscles are. Once they get "unwound" my back no longer aches, but a day or two later, I'm right back to having a hard time walking because of it.

I don't think we realize how tight we can wind up our muscles through mental concerns. Now, when it hits me, I "tell myself" to relax and let the muscles more or less ease up. Try it, you'll be surprised how tense they are without you even knowing it. I swear the events in the country at this time is the cause, as my life is pretty carefree and easy to maneuver.
