Let’s talk about your shoulders for a second
If your shoulders feel heavy, tight, or like they’re constantly sitting up near your ears, this is not just “normal tension”

This usually comes from
- Holding stress in the body (carrying “the weight of the world”)
- Poor posture over time (lack of support in your life)
- Always being in a forward position (always in a rush)
- Never fully letting the shoulders drop and reset (all gas, no breaks)
What happens is the body adapts
