Thanks I needed that
The relax jaw part :)

Grinding my teeth is my new thing

disappointedgranny.bsky.social•102 days ago

Don't do it. I can't tell you how many teeth I've broken off doing that.

againstfacists.bsky.social•102 days ago

Happening in my sleep alas

disappointedgranny.bsky.social•101 days ago

Get a mouth guard. Seriously.

atmasters.bsky.social•101 days ago

get a mouth guard! If you can’t afford one through the dentist then go to a sporting goods store and buy one that you can mold yourself. 💙

disappointedgranny.bsky.social•102 days ago

You know me? I don't drink enough water and have literally broken off teeth from clenching my jaw. 😅. Forget to eat properly and get headaches😅😂. That was a much younger me. I've learned to calm down immensely, especially after I got rid of my ex.

mary-62.bsky.social•102 days ago

Also go for a walk. A short brisk one or a long wandering one.

rebekahwriter.bsky.social•102 days ago

Done! My dog stopped to sniff every leaf along the way!

papamoe.bsky.social•102 days ago

Good morning, Rebekah!

Drop your shoulders

agentketolarry.bsky.social•102 days ago

Mental health is so important right now.
(a deep breath)
Okay, let's go.
Thank you, and have a great day.

madcatlady24.bsky.social•102 days ago

Thank you for reminding me

snarkysillysad.bsky.social•102 days ago

It's that last part I seem to have problems with....

rebekahwriter.bsky.social•102 days ago

We all do.

shelby333.bsky.social•102 days ago

I had to start wearing my mouth guard.

My stress TMJ is out of control!

emilygraves.bsky.social•102 days ago

TY ♥️

tjford.bsky.social•102 days ago

Yeah, the relaxing of the jaw thing is more frequent now.

thereelrandom.bsky.social•101 days ago

Always on that last one!

brooklyntrex.bsky.social•101 days ago

I really thought this was the year I’d work on my TMJ. Nope. Looks like I’m gonna keep grinding 😬

jsyoder.bsky.social•102 days ago

Yoga, qi gong and meditation help me so much. Vital to make self care a priority.

hannahdiaz.bsky.social•100 days ago

My jaw appreciates this post.

birdseeds.bsky.social•102 days ago

If I did all these, I'm done for the day, right? I can go back to bed?

yjennyy.bsky.social•102 days ago

Wow. Thanks. ☺️

marag.bsky.social•102 days ago

I relax my jaw and then it clenches back up as soon as I stop paying attention. My dentist keeps giving me concerned looks, because I've ground through crowns that should have lasted me years more.

Need to work on the hydration, though.

rebekahwriter.bsky.social•102 days ago

I got a massage a while ago and the next day I was in pain. I’m apparently relying on muscle tension to keep me upright.

marag.bsky.social•102 days ago

Yeeeeeah, that's pretty much true here too. In the vein of "if it wasn't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all".

bluetexaswoman.bsky.social•101 days ago

How did you know about my jaw???

filmingdoc.bsky.social•101 days ago

Thank you! Needed that!

able-baker.bsky.social•102 days ago

Been thing about meds & potential supply chain issues & my jaw is def not relaxed

rebekahwriter.bsky.social•102 days ago

Yeah…

stacyt643.bsky.social•102 days ago

The way I immediately loosened my jaw

rebekahwriter.bsky.social•102 days ago

I know. I just had to do it again.

mrkimb.bsky.social•102 days ago

That last one, so many of us need to remind ourselves.
Keep a little space between your teeth.

bluedotmn.bsky.social•102 days ago

Its easy to relax the jaw when the mouth is agape constantly from listening to the ridiculousness that comes out of Trump humps mouths-

theotherkatia.bsky.social•102 days ago

Taking meds is a lot of work

rebekahwriter.bsky.social•102 days ago

Some days it really is.

theotherkatia.bsky.social•102 days ago

Idk why. I struggle with it.

rebekahwriter.bsky.social•102 days ago

I have the same struggle. I find myself getting annoyed at the process of opening the bottles.

But only for my meds. I’m ok giving my kids their meds. I guess I love them more than I love myself?

theotherkatia.bsky.social•102 days ago

There is some of that. I feel like getting water is a lot of work but i drink water at work all day long.

Smh 🤦🏽‍♀️ this is why i need meds

rebekahwriter.bsky.social•102 days ago

Being human is weird and hard.

1whiteeyebrowdad.bsky.social•102 days ago

Would you kindly post this every 24 hours? Blessings.

jazzygirl.bsky.social•101 days ago

Yes, try not to grind your teeth which isn’t an easy thing to do. Good advice.

jonathancage10.bsky.social•102 days ago

Trying!

tiggerlane.bsky.social•102 days ago

"Relax your jaw" is the one I needed most. Thank you!

besmarteasy.bsky.social•102 days ago

And crack a smile. Just because…

judda.bsky.social•102 days ago

Do some mindful breathing to top it off.

jaidawny.bsky.social•101 days ago

I'm constantly finding myself tensing up my face. Then I tell myself, stretch, take a deep breath.

steveedee.bsky.social•101 days ago

lol love "relax your jaw"--I've been grinding my teeth since the election--thanks for the reminder :)

rdpartlady.bsky.social•101 days ago

Same 😬

whalepsychiatrist.bsky.social•101 days ago

"relax your jaw"

Ive literally snapped a tooth I clench that hard, had to have it capped.

rayd.bsky.social•102 days ago

Thanks for the reminder ✔️

n1ghtmarica.bsky.social•102 days ago

Go axe-throwing :)

teachkindness48.bsky.social•101 days ago

Thank you repeat

kristinin.bsky.social•101 days ago

OMG - it's the jaw, isn't it!!!

citeien.bsky.social•102 days ago

✅ ✅ ✅ and ✔️ although relaxing the jaw is a daily challenge. I find myself gritting my teeth more frequently.

pollycoaching.bsky.social•101 days ago

Meds taken, coffee counts as hydration, protein… does bacon count? Jaw still clenched, though—it’s a work in progress.

cjc0411.bsky.social•102 days ago

That part...especially the relax your jaw!

pennycr.bsky.social•102 days ago

I can do all that, but can't seem to get my neck to loosen.

fishladyabs.bsky.social•102 days ago

I hate that all of these somehow apply to me…

rebekahwriter.bsky.social•102 days ago

I made this list from personal experience so, yeah. Me, too.

fishladyabs.bsky.social•102 days ago

Allow me to add to it then, from my own personal experience:

- pet the floof
- do the thing (even if it’s just ONE thing, that’s one less to do)
- tell one person in your life that you love them
- hit the sack before that second wind hits

rebekahwriter.bsky.social•102 days ago

Pet the floof is the best one! My dog is beside me and I’m about to head to the stable to ride my horse. I can pet ALL the floofs there! Big floofs!

fishladyabs.bsky.social•102 days ago

Cats for me, but they all need love, and some of them even like cuddling ^^
