If I don't work to turn my stress outward, by working out or sparring with someone or writing or having myself a good old-fashioned crying jag, I tend to turn it inward.

I have always clenched my teeth and jaw and it hasn't caused me issues yet (other than my teeth being ground down and growing in an obvious pattern due to it) but TMJ is probably not far down the road.

My neck and shoulders also bear the burden of my stress. They get so darn tight and it's quite painful sometimes as I had a car accident years ago that reversed the curvature of my neck with the impact. My need to stay out of the chiropractor's office is very strong.

If I let myself sit with something too long, I tend to turn a molehill into a mountain and then figure out the most difficult way around the mountain and proceed to work my way through things that way. It's not healthy, positive or productive.

Meditating and yoga do absolutely nothing for me. I get bored and then I start thinking and that's not good. I need something physical but adaptable to my needs. For me, those don't fit.
