About this episode
Welcome to Day 10 of the Self-Love Journaling Challenge!
Once Upon Your Shoulders
Today, we apply self-love to an emotion that likes to sit heavy upon us and even causes us physical pain in our shoulders and beyond: stress.
Research referred to can be found in:
The book The Things They Carried, (2009), by Tim O'Brien, available wherever you purchase your books.
and
Elite Sports Medicine and Orthopedics, out of Nashville, TN, in their 2018 blog article, "Can Stress Cause Shoulder Pain," located at: https://www.eliteorthopaedic.com/blog/can-stress-cause-shoulder-pain#:~:text=Tension%20and%20tightness%20in%20your,stretching%20and%20other%20relaxation%20methods.
and
The University at Buffalo, School of Social Work's 2010, publication, "Stress Journaling," located at: https://socialwork.buffalo.edu/content/dam/socialwork/home/self-care-kit/exercises/stress-journaling.pdf
Though this is not journal therapy, let me help you focus on pain in your shoulders or other areas of your body today caused by stress in a new way today with this pin-point focused prompt based on sound research.
