How to loosen up.... literally.?

Question

I walk and move like a robot, and I don't know why. I don't dance or anything because I feel very 'tense' and I always think that everyone's looking at me, even though I know they aren't.
How can I just loosen up, and dance, jump, and do embarrassing stuff like I haven't done in years?!

I apologize if this is the wrong section to post this issue, but I honestly couldn't find a better one (suggest one, if you think I'll get better replies there), and my issue I feel is a mental problem more than physical.

Answer 1

You can try looking up relaxation techniques online or at the library, then try them before a social situation.

Also, you may want to join a sports team or group, even just at the local basketball court. Even if you are not that good at the sport the act of practicing it will help you loosen up.

FYI i think this is the closest category for your question, I will give you a star and that should get some interest from others in my network.

Ok .. (with out the assistance of Jesus) I find that I also become really anxious at times but at other times and around individuals that I am at ease with I am a very energetic and spunky personality... it may sound dumb but when I am feeling extremely self conscious I take deep breathes through my nose... slowly... and at the same time try to clear my head and talk myself into relaxing... at times i feel as though it almost works... :) (tell yourself that your being silly (not out loud..) and that your going to cut the "@#$%^". maybe you'll listen. If you need more than that it may be time for a therapist. :)

We are what we percieve ourself to be-if you see yourself moving like a robot-then it will imprint your mind to feel that too. Also it will lead to feeling like your being watched by everyone and when you look at faces they will respond and then they will be watching you either way.

On the other hand you say you want to do embarrassing stuff like you use to do-sounds like part of you wants to be suave, with good movements and part of you wants to do movements that would embarass yourself.

Your mind made by Jesus, knows what you are up to-and is restricting you.

stating you havent done it in years-well if you give your age and your body state-it may be more than just your mind.

"Be not drunk on wine, wherein is excess, but be filled with the Holy Spirit." when you get high on God you will be able to do things with your mind and body right now you think is impossible!

Alchohol will loosen you up in more ways than one, it will let you make a fool out of yourself and do things that your body will regret to say nothing of regrets to those that are with you or recongnize you now or in the future.

this is how I came to know the difference and jump for joy and was out singing and excited today as in every day since I came to know His truth, freedom and joy= you are a precious person.

why not get something better than what you have lived with-or literally are dying with not just spiritually dead.

this helped me to get higher than vodka and help from above too=learn Bible for salvation in Jesus there.

this helped me understand Jesus=John 3 to repent/ask forgiveness for my sins and be born again. Revelation 3:19&20 Jesus speaking "I love you and ask you to repent. Behold I stand at your heart door and knock, if you ask me in, I will come in and begin a friend ship with you and you with me."

I prayed and let Jesus into my heart now he is my savior Messiah and best friend.

cam on=thanks again friend in Jesus Psalm 23 The Lord is my Shepherd/guides me like I was his sheep (bahh bahh) they dont know what water to drink even and will drink poison water without the shepherd to guide and protect them.

why not come to get some help more than anything, help from above in Jesus, and a new beginning -something to put dance in your steps as people say of me too. David
