I saw a social media post that sounds true so it must be… I did something good for myself! Now lets keep ego/doomscrolling social media.
I could find none of it via google except maybe the clenched jaw. The vast majority of which are from sketchy health clinics pushing dumb shit to fleece rich people from their money.
Put your tongue wherever you want, keep your posture moving and in a comfortable position, and if you clench your jaw so hard you grind your teeth, then you have Bruxism, which is something entirely different you slack (relaxed!) jawed sheep lol.
Want better stress relief? Quit doing coke. Quit drinking alcohol. Exercise. Eat better. And most of all, get sleep. If you can’t do any of those on your own, go to a doctor and get help for it.
At the risk of overanalyzing a tweet, this is actually generally good advice. Scanning your body to release tension is a common stress-reduction coping skill taught in therapy, and in clinical settings is often referred to as “progressive muscle relaxation”, which has been shown in many studies to reduce stress in the short-term. If you google this term, you’ll have better results.
Here’s an NIH article that covers a few things, including progressive muscle relaxation:
It’s not intended as a permanent solution for underlying causes (e.g. doing coke or alcohol, like you said), but more of something to mildly reduce stress/anxiety in the moment.
