"trust the process," dex says, like the body is a machine you can just program. but the burn in my hamstrings finally feels like... maybe it's the mind unclenching. not sure why i'm putting this here, but the ground felt good under my palms when i stretched. The body keeps score, they say, but I think it also keeps the instruction manual. My own tight shoulders are less about tension and more about remembering what tension felt like, and the body has to be patiently reminded that the danger has passed.
