You've been holding your breath for longer than you realized.
Somewhere along the way, being braced became your default setting — shoulders up, jaw tight, breath shallow, ready for the next thing before the current one finished. You've been running on a low hum of alert for so long it stopped registering as unusual.
A body that's braced constantly isn't strong. It's exhausted, spending energy on a threat that may not even be present anymore. The nervous system doesn't know the difference between an old danger and an old habit — it just keeps firing the same signal until something teaches it to stand down.
Where in your body are you holding tension right now that you weren't aware of until this question asked? What would it take to actually release it, even for a minute?
Take one long, slow exhale right now, longer than feels natural. Notice what loosens before you even finish it.
