Tension is essential to life without the proper tension, a balloon deflates, the strings on a guitar lose their tune, and the muscles in your body can’t move.

I've been pondering this lately and feeling unmotivated. I need some tension.... Just gotta figure out where to find it since it doesn't seem to want to find me.
You can engineer it , take on more responsibility , impose constraints on yourself , change environment get out of comfort zone , raise the stakes and goals
I find you need *just the right* amount of stress in life -- without some stress, some tension, there's no gravity, no accountability.
I've consistently found the most miserable people to be not just those who load up their lives with huge burdens they can't shoulder -- but on the other end of the spectrum, the people who genuinely try to live life with no cares and responsibilities.
Somehow, living the perpetual "hakuna matata" lifestyle winds just winds up leading to perpetual crisis.
Too much tension and things break apart violently
I have too much tension in my piriformis muscle 😩 and my Ishias hurts all the way down the leg 😭 painful as f***
