Leg fidgetting. How do you solve it?

[caesar13]

Not sure why I shake my legs most of the time. I am well aware that I am not stressed. Then why would I still do it? 

I tried to consciously shake my legs faster for a few minutes, that is intentionally doing it for a few minutes until my legs start to hurt. Do you think if I do this for a while I would stop shaking my legs at all? My feeling is that since I'd doing it consciously doing it, soon I'd conscious and stop shaking.

Not sure what I said makes any sense to you. I just couldn't explain it.

Practice conscious relaxing and letting go.

If it's because you feel restless, try doing some squats.  If I spend too much time physically inactive, my legs get restless and twitchy;  if I do enough squats, the feeling goes away.  If it's a psychological tick in your case, though, this method might not work.

Maybe it's restless leg syndrome. Google it and see if you have the symptoms. Also drinking a lot of soda/caffeine can cause this.

It could be anything. Salt, sugar, caffeine, energy drinks, fast food, candy, junk food, anxiety, nervousness, bad habit, unresolved trauma, repressed behavior, surpressed emotions, ADHD, OCD, trauma, genetics, lack of sleep, lack of exercise, dehydration, medication, substance abuse, chakras, kundalini awakening, demonic possession, etc.

Hang out with all your relatives and even distant relatives and see if they do it. If no one does it, start asking them if they ever do it or have done it in the past.

it can be that you’re not moving enough physically so that need for movement is being expressed as this shaking so it’s actually healthy in a way

If you’re forced to sit down a lot, and shaking makes you feel better I don’t see the problem?

Lol. Being all-inclusive. You could copy and paste this answer for a lot of people's questions.

Create a pulse at the centre of your chest and make the shakings have a soul & purpose.

What do you mean by "pulse"?

[Rigel]

I mean play drums. It’s gonna cure your fidgeting. If you want. Create a regular pulse at the center of your chest and relate your fidgeting to that pulse.

I think dancing could put your rhythm into coherence as well. Fidgeting and shaking is untamed rhythm.

[Hello from Russia]

Try yoga

[ivankiss]

Go for a run or a walk, do some stretches... it should exhaust itself.

Your nervous system is inflated. That is why you are experiencing this. You need to find a way to release tension and relax.

[D2sage]

Go swimming.
