Thank you so much for the detailed explanation. I can see where it would seem onerous and difficult when learning to recognize stress, thoughts, tension, and the act of letting it go. I have fibromyalgia, and I carry pain and tension constantly, and it is such a constant that I don’t recognize the stress, tension, and even the pain. I have to consciously think about it sometimes to recognize what are of the body is currently affected (which is usually most of it). I’ve tried meditation, mindfulness, body mapping in the past. It’s probably a good time to look into some new techniques and give it another whirl.
