"Men are born soft and supple; dead, they are stiff and hard. Plants are born tender and pliant; dead, they are brittle and dry. Thus whoever is stiff and inflexible is a disciple of death. Whoever is soft and yielding is a disciple of life. The hard and stiff will be broken. The soft and supple will prevail."

~ Lao-tzu, 6th century bce Chinese philosopher, founder of Taoism from Tao Te Ching

Relax.

Take a deep breath, stop fighting against everything so much.

Think soft and supple.

(Oh. And are you stretching? Good. :))
