If you're feeling short-fused, your neck is in a fight or flight grip. This physical tension isn't something to "fix" - it’s a data point. When you are overfunctioning, your body braces for stress by tightening the muscles in your neck and jaw. This habit keeps you feeling short-fused, stuck, and irritable because your brain interprets that tension as a constant threat. In this 7-minute somatic release, we aren't just stretching; we are practicing regulation. By using simple neck movements and somatic bridging, we build the capacity to shift from a stress response into integration. Life is noisy (as you’ll hear with the neighbor’s baby in the background!). This practice is about finding your homeostasis in the middle of the mess, not waiting for a perfectly quiet room to finally breathe.
