What is the Relationship Between Being Uptight and Happiness?

What is the connection between tightness, uptighness and happiness?

 

The definition of uptight is: 

1.     Nervous or worried and tending to become upset about something that does not make other people upset

2.     Unable or unwilling to relax and express feelings openly : too concerned about behaving in a socially proper way

 

We can do yoga practices that reveal to us where we are resisting happiness.  Once we are made aware of our tightness and uptightness, we can begin to let go.   ~ Sharon Gannon and David Life
