Quick question: Are you "breathing" through your neck? The "Collarbone" Check 𦴠Place your hand on your collarbone. Take a breath. If your hand moves up toward your chin, youβre using your neck muscles to breathe. This is why your shoulders feel like concrete by 5 PM. The Fix: Imagine your ribs expanding sideways like an accordion, not upwards. Keep those collarbones dead still. 3 wide breaths into the ribs will shut off the "stress" muscles in your neck instantly. Try it. Did your shoulders drop? Drop a "π¬οΈ" below!
