I do the same, after noticing I carry my stress in my jaw. Occasionally something will break my concentration on a task and I'll notice that I have my teeth clenched so tight, that whole mandibular muscle group is positively aching (think of doggedly chewing gum for the whole day). Probably going to have some negative dental effects later down the line, so I do my best to relax when I realize I'm doing it.
Keeping my feet flat on the ground, continually checking my shoulder tension, adjusting my ergo so that I don't continually feel an urge to lean forward, and having a chair with fantastic lumbar support have made a huge difference.
