Coping with tension

Quite timely and beautiful article. God bless you, Michelle.

A good topic for many. Nicely done. I'm happy to report I don't have tension in my life, but when I do have it, I let it go....but it took years to learn how to do that.

Well done an excellent read, thank you. Jamie

Excelente midget. You are a gifted poet and as Billybuc said, this is an important topic. The image that the top of your hub is powerful and effective in revealing tension at its most acute and prepares us for what's ahead. Nice job.

Love your suggestions for a tense-free life. When I do feel stressed, I find thinking positive and prayer works well. This post is a keeper!

I hate to say this, but I only forget my worries and woes by working. Writing also works, because it distracts my senses away from problems. Great poem!

I live with tension daily. Most of the time, it is from the constant drive to help others with the time and talents I have. In some small way, I want to help make the world a better place. Sometimes, I just have to close my eyes, and visual the top of my head opening up and all of the things I am thinking about flying away in the wind. Then, I can relax for a while!

I'm not as tense as I used to be. I'm mostly positive and take breaks often. Stretching while on the floor keeps my muscles from tensing up. Thanks for such a good hub. Sharing.

Great words form you and so much of thought put into this hub.

Beautifully written. I used to have a lot of tension in the past but nowadays I'm more relaxed.

I am still cross with myself that I still allow myself to become tense. Of course being cross makes me even more tense. I'm a born worrier! Breathing, walking, and exercise all help.

Very nicely done hub on tension, which we cannot escape in our daily life. But the important thing is to manage it so it does not harm you.

Thanks, voted up and shared on HP!

Thank you for the hub so nicely made. I cope with tension by listening to relaxing music and doing pranayama, a type of breathing exercise which can help all to fight tension.

This is very helpful!

I'm a deep thinker, innately sensitive and habitually worry on stuff that they said, I shouldn't sweat about but I'm learning to take it easy and so far, so good. Self care and faith are very important.

Great, valuable hub. Beautiful lines. Voted up and sharing.
