Your family Pre-warning them to expect what you are going to do is a conservative tactic. Small children often want to join you in your disciplines, adolescents generally scoff and partners may see the work as beneficial or threatening. Many partners fear loss of attention and will respond well to invitations to join with you. You will have a better day if you begin outdoors and do your energy work. You will have a much better day if you are comfortable while doing that.
Comfort is the precursor to relaxation.
The parasympathetic nervous system does not act if you are uncomfortable. Health and happiness require that you spend much time in a parasympathetic state. Thanks to Cliff Berns and Karen Algire.
