How to Relax our Jaws
jaw
Most of us, in practically all our everyday activities, are driving with that brake on. That brake is unconscious tension. We have to worked and played in a tense condition for so long that we regard it as more or less normal. We do not notice the clenched dew, the right abdomen, and the constricted muscles. Yet the resulting fatigue burns up our energy, impairs our skills and even dulls our appreciation of the world about us.
Tensions is excess effort; trying too hard to do things that should be done automatically. It causes muscles to jam and contact. Make a conscious effort to speak correctly and you shutter or become tongue-tied.
The jaw is the most expensive parts of the human body. We grit our teeth in rang, clench our jaws in determination. When your jaw is tensed, your brain, which is constantly receiving nerve messages from your muscles reasons something like this’ we must be in difficulty, we must have a terrible job to do.” We then become conscious of a felling of confidence.
As soon as we relax our jaw however our brain says ‘we are out of difficulty now.’ and you get a feeling of confidence. So every time we feel anxious or experience self doubt, notice that you are contracting your jaws. Then stop.
