Hi Friend,
If thereâs one thing a high achiever and deep thinker who always has a plan, hates, itâs wasted time. Youâve got things to do, people to love, mountains to climb (sometimes literally), and goals to crush.
But what happens when that inner drive gets stuck?
Maybe youâre stuck in:
â Overanalyzing every decision, waiting for the âperfectâ moment.
â Pushing through frustration, but it just builds into resentment.
â Feeling the weight of responsibility (for everything and everyone).
â Carrying tension in your jaw, shoulders, or lower back that just wonât quit.
When energy gets blocked, it shows up in the body. Stiff hips, a tight chest, clenched teeth at night, or a sense of mental fog when making decisions. You might overwork, overcommit, or overthinkâall because it feels safer than stopping and trusting the flow.
Hereâs where LV3 (Liver 3) comes in.
LV3: The Acupressure Point for Clarity, Flow & Releasing Stuck Energy
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, LV3 (Liver 3, aka âGreat Rushingâ) is a powerhouse point for releasing frustration, stress, and mental blocks.
đ Where is it? On the top of your foot, in alignment with the meeting point of the first and second toe and the big knuckle at the bottom of the toe.
Remember #2ïžâŁ from the Sunday email
"Stretch: Not for Vanity, But for Vitality"
here's what I meant:
âš LV3:
â Releases trapped stress & tensionâmentally, emotionally, and physically.
â Unclenches the jaw & relaxes the nervous system.
â Supports the liver in balancing hormones and emotions.
â Encourages clarity & decision-making (so you stop overthinking).
â Eases lower back, hip, and digestive discomfortâcommon signs of blocked Liver Qi.
