You must have felt it… the heightened awareness of your surroundings, the pounding in your chest, shortness of breath, tightening of your throat, sweating perhaps even a sense of nausea!
There are many causes, but deep down in our guts, the adrenal gland has gone about producing adrenaline to help us face a serious threat. Fight or Flight!
The cause could be fear, anxiety but probably and most commonly just stress, or so you’ve been led to believe.
But what if there was a completely different way of looking at this? What if it was tension?
Tension is very different from pressure, stress or fear. Unlike stress, Tension is embedded energy.
Like a rubber band…as it stretches, the potential energy embedded builds, until eventually it is released. And when this embedded energy is released the result is massive and powerful action. An action that can move something that has here…to there!
Released with a purpose this energy can launch us out of fear and into something new and exciting, propelling us past the boundaries of fear beyond our comfort zone. This release of tension is not just useful but perhaps essential for us to make any major change in our lives.
