Be careful not to overdo it! Relax your shoulders and unleash your true potential

Hello, I'm Maru.

Through my experience of changing from being super negative, I share the secrets to living comfortably and how to find your true self.

Because I was a perfectionist,
for better or worse, I had a tendency to
give everything my all.

Someone who saw me like that
once told me,
"Try to relax your shoulders a bit more."

However,
I thought it was impossible to relax
in situations where I had to work hard.

I felt like it couldn't be helped that my shoulders were tense,
and in situations where I had to be fired up and get things done,
I thought it was no time to be relaxing!

Besides, I myself
had no awareness that I was
that tense.

So, I ended up
lightly brushing off that well-meaning advice.

But in reality, without me even realizing it,
I was in a state of extreme tension...

"I must get this done!"
"I have to work even harder!"

In situations where I had to pull myself together or
where I had to concentrate,
my body would react naturally,
and my shoulders would tense up.

Since I wasn't aware of it and left it as it was,
physical ailments like stiff shoulders and headaches
increased.

You see, you can't relax your shoulders
unless you are aware of them.

It's not that you relax your shoulders because you feel comfortable; rather,
you feel comfortable because you relax your shoulders.

Are your shoulders tense right now?

Even if you aren't aware of it,
try rotating your shoulders in large circles.

You'll feel refreshed when you do it♪
(They might make a grinding sound)

If possible, try taking five deep breaths as well.

I think you will be able to feel
your mind calming down with this.

How do you feel?

With just this,
you can return to a relaxed state.

When unnecessary tension leaves your body,
your mental balance also stabilizes.

Especially when you feel you need to push yourself hard,
please remember to relax your shoulders.

When you relax your shoulders,
you can be yourself,
making it easier to perform at your best.

Thank you
for reading until the end.
