I had a sinking feeling deep in my belly and my back and neck muscles tightened up. Despite my being multiple vaccinated, still being very careful and wearing masks occasionally, I do still worry that I may catch Covid.<\/p>\n<p>I thought I was relaxed about Lateral Flow\u00a0Tests but noticed I tensed up merely at the thought of needing a test.\u00a0 My reactions were stronger when I recently had to have a PCR test as well. Thankfully it was negative again.<\/p>\n<p>I have taken regular tests for my teaching and I can get a bit blas\u00e9 and fall into <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hilaryking.net\/glossary\/end-gaining\">end gaining<\/a>. When I do this, much of my awareness can vanish.\u00a0 \u2018Let\u2019s get this out of the way\u2019 sort of reaction kicks in. I often tighten my neck and jaw as I wipe the swab around my nostrils.\u00a0 Do you notice doing that and if so, can you choose not to? At least with the newer test kits, we don\u2019t have to wipe our tonsils as well. I had to be very thoughtful doing that, to avoid tightening my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hilaryking.net\/glossary\/cervical-vertebrae\">neck<\/a> as I looked at my throat in the mirror.<\/p>\n<h3>Waiting for the Test Results<\/h3>\n<p>If I go into automatic or anxious mode, I tend to curl down to peer at the test cassette. Firstly, in order to drop the liquid into it, then to read the results. That is not looking after my neck or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hilaryking.net\/glossary\/back-pain\">back<\/a>!\u00a0 Why do I contract down, rather than using an easy folding movement?\u00a0 Also, why do I rush to set the timer, to tell me when to check the results? Rushing does not help in any way. Have you noticed how you react\u00a0 when you perform Covid-19 tests?<\/p>\n<p>It is interesting to be reminded of how old unhelpful habits tend to return under stress<\/p>\n<h3>Preparing for My Next Test<\/h3>\n<p>So next time, I will pause briefly before getting out a Lateral Flow Test and will aim to avoid that unnecessary tension and end gaining. Being more aware should help make the testing process easier, more comfortable and less stressful. After all, I\u2019m going to have to take many more in the future, so let\u2019s make it a more positive experience!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is your reaction when you think of having to take a Covid-19 Test?
