Stress Can Make You Clumsy

source: Health Scout News

Are you a klutz who’s constantly banging into tables, knocking over glasses or tripping over chair legs?

According to Toronto’s Sunnybrook and Women’s College Health Science Center, stress and a killer schedule may be to blame. If you’re uptight, your muscles tense up and lead to clumsy movements.

Here’s what you can do to loosen up:

Make a daily “to do” list. If it seems too full, cross off some items.

Practice deep breathing or yoga stretches to help slow you down.

Forget multitasking. Finish your snack, for example, before you drive or talk on your cell phone.
