Release and Relax

本站添加: 2026-05-15

[00:00:00]Hey everybody, how you guys doing today?

[00:00:01]Jim from the pain PT here and today I want to talk about releasing your stress, releasing your symptoms and releasing whatever comes up for you that you releasing is such a powerful word and we can use that word in conjunction with relaxing. So we can relax and release.

[00:00:26]And when we release something, it means we let something go. And I would say in this field of recovery from neuroplastic symptoms, from stress, from anxiety, from all these emotions and thoughts that we have, it's more about releasing them and letting them go than it is about doing more or taking on more or figuring out more or learning more or reading more. Right? It's it's about letting this stuff go. It's not about telling the story even, you know, um it's about letting the story go. It's about releasing. So the more that we can release and let go of which there's typically our old patterns and programs that we have learned and that our unconscious brains are running and some of the emotions that come up and maybe intrusive thoughts that come up or anxiety type thoughts and thinking. If we can learn to just let that go or release that when it happens each time, it gives us a very simple blueprint to work from.

[00:01:40]It keeps stress low because we're not trying to fix, add on, do more, overanalyze.

[00:01:48]We we take away that stress and all we're doing is simply releasing stress whenever it appears. Whenever our unconscious brain kicks something out, we simply go and say release that, let that go.

[00:02:06]And we can again relax as well into that which helps to release something. But if we have an approach, we have a sort of goal here or a directive of what we want to do and then let's say that's just releasing that gives us again something that we can go right to whenever something kicks up, right? It's like the idea of rumination or catastrophization.

[00:02:35]It doesn't help at all to keep going on and on with the rumination thoughts or catastrophizing further and worrying more about something. In fact, all that's doing is creating further reaction and creating further stimulation from the brain and nervous system that gets dumped into your body, makes you feel worse or continues things in that stress reaction way. So when our brains react, we release. When our brains react with stress, let us release that stress. When our brains react with giving us emotions, let's release those emotions. When our brain reacts with giving us symptoms, let's release those symptoms.

[00:03:23]And that releasing again is just a shift you make internally.

[00:03:28]It's a word, but the word has meaning.

[00:03:31]It's not just a word that we say. We actually try to imagine letting that go.

[00:03:38]We try to say, "Okay, exhale it." Maybe even taking a breath and exhaling it out.

[00:03:48]I'm releasing that. Now, it might not be one time that you do a release that it's gone for good. Because for many people these are repetitive chronic learn programs patterns symptoms emotional states thoughts. So we have to repeat just like anything in life brushing your teeth you got to repeat it daily exercising eating. So we have to repeat this letting go or releasing process don't know how many times. Sometimes just a few times, sometimes many times to actually release it fully, to let it fully release.

[00:04:31]So whenever it comes, we release. We don't ask questions.

[00:04:36]We don't question it. We try not to react to it because that only makes it worse, right? It blows it up further. We try not to resist it because that's not going to help either. that's just trying to deny something that's here or fight against it.

[00:04:53]The best thing we can do is release it.

[00:04:58]Exhale it. Let it go.

[00:05:01]Again, some people this might be an issue for you. One of your patterns is you have a hard time letting go and that's something you need to work on or want to work on. But the fastest way to get rid of something is to release it.

[00:05:16]Drop it. Let it go. You guys know I love to use the pen analogy here as just simple example. This pen I'm holding on to right now. And if this pen is something that's in my mind and it's bothering me, I don't need to sit here and do this.

[00:05:34]Pick it apart. Open it up. Analyze it.

[00:05:37]Figure it out. What's going on here with this pen? What's the fastest way? Drop it. Release it. Let it go. So you can use other words. Drop it. Let it go.

[00:05:53]Release it. So when stress comes up, we exhale it. We release it. We let it go.

[00:06:00]We drop it. Fastest way to reduce the stress reaction.

[00:06:06]Fastest way to reduce thoughts that are coming in. Fastest way to let emotions simmer down. fastest way to let the body relax when it's tensing.

[00:06:16]So, it's a very quick way that we need to repeat. Okay? So, we repeat the releasing process whenever something kicks up, we let it go. So, it's a nice approach everybody and you guys can learn to integrate this into your day. I find it very helpful and to combine the releasing with the relaxing. So these two R words that are just really good words that we can release and relax and combine those two things together relax and release.

[00:06:52]So when we relax it helps us release right when we release something and when we relax it helps it again to settle out and not come back more. It could come back but we release it again.

[00:07:08]So when you get better and better at releasing, you can do it a lot quicker, a lot easier. Things don't linger as long.

[00:07:17]You're not picking something up again and spinning it in your mind, looping it, overanalyzing it, ruminating on it, catastrophizing on it, kicking up more stress, kicking up more emotion. No, stop and just release. So when we exhale, that's a release. That's a physical release of stress from our body. That's that's really nice. That feels good. We can release that way. We can release something mentally.

[00:07:48]We can release these emotions. Like I said before, we can release the tension in the body. We can release the symptoms.

[00:07:57]Okay? Just take this word and try to embody it and live it and use it during your day. Like those two words, release and relax. Focusing on the releasing part today.
