    Joyce,

    Stephany is right and all I can suggest is possibly some yoga exercises for the upper body, I find it works rather well

    I have had anxiety on and off for about 3 years now and my shoulders up around my neck/ears is usually the first sign (though I don't usually recognize it at the time) that I may be getting anxious.
