Tense?: This is usually a reaction to stress. Stress reduction techniques can be useful. There are many books on this subject if you wish to pursue it - consider yoga, self-hypnosis, transcendental meditation, and behavior modification techniques. Brief counseling can also be useful as this is a form of obsessive-compulsive disorder and amenable to psychotherapy.
