I just did the body scan meditation. I sat in my chair, let my shoulders drop, let my neck relax, and did diaphragmatic breathing the whole time. It made me feel relaxed. It’s very similar to yoga nidra, which I’ve done before, so it felt familiar.
My shoulders, traps, and neck are still so tight, but I noticed they let go a little when I focused on breathing out slowly. I’m trying to remember that I don’t have to make the tightness and pain go away. I just have to let it be there and stay calm with it.
I also did my journaling today, and it brought up a lot of things from my past I haven’t thought about in a long time. The meditation afterward helped me settle down.
