Know Thyself
I’ve spent a considerable amount of time around children recently and I’ve found that my face hurts. I’ve spent an increased amount of time smiling, making faces, and over over-exaggerated expressions. I’ve also found myself laughing more often. I’ve thought about this because my facial muscles, specifically in the cheek area, are sore. It pleases me to think that around non-adults I find myself happier; yet at the same time I’m saddened that apparently my smiling muscles are out of shape.
Try this: Close your eyes and scan your body for sore muscles. Do your forearms hurt from making something? Quads sore from swatting? Hands hurt from writing?
Or, shoulders hurt from stressing?
