Quick question: Are you "breathing" through your neck?
The "Collarbone" Check 🦴
Place your hand on your collarbone. Take a breath. If your hand moves up toward your chin, you’re 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.
