Your body remembers things your mind moved on from.
This isn’t metaphorical.
When your nervous system detects threat, stress, or overwhelm, your body prepares for action
— tighten, brace, hold, contain.
If that action doesn’t complete (movement, discharge, expression),
the tension often stays.
Not as a memory you think about,
but as posture, tightness, restlessness, fatigue, or numbness.
This is why some men feel “fine” mentally
but can’t relax physically.
So here’s the question — no analysis needed:
When you slow down, where does your body still feel like it’s holding something?
Neck. Jaw. Chest. Gut. Hips. Legs. Or nowhere at all.
You don’t have to explain it.
You don’t have to make meaning of it.
Noticing is the work.
Awareness in the body is where emotional regulation actually begins.
