During the stretching section of some workout video I was watching, the trainer talked about letting your tongue relax, and letting it fall from the roof of your mouth. It kind of freaked me out because my tongue was on the roof of my mouth and the more I thought about it, the more my mouth felt “hot.” It’s kind of a curse to think about this, but I am glad to be conscious of it and remind myself to relax.

A google search reveals:

When many people are stressed, they press their tongue against the roof of their mouth and may not even be aware of it.
If you relax your tongue completely, it is very difficult to talk to yourself.

I try to incorporate stretches into my routine. After I brush my teeth, I stand in the corner of the bathroom and stretch my chest. Before I go to bed, I lay down on the ground and do various back stretches.

This week I wrapped up a quick freelance job and used some of the advice from ‘Design is a Job‘. Things went smoothly. Met with a potential client and can already see how some of the advice will come in handy.

Had a phone call with an interesting company, I’m anxious to hear back from them.

Last night Mike K, Greg E and I went to M Shanghai, then to the sports bar to watch KU, where many people joined us, then to Iona for Mike’s official birthday party, where more people joined. Then Esha, Laura, Gino, Jeff B and I went to M Shanghai. I had two full dinners at the same restaurant in the same night.
