If you’re like me, you may find yourself sitting more and more of the day. At my desk, in the car, in a waiting area. Personally, I don’t like sitting for very long and tend to move around a lot. I also know I’m not as ergonomically cognizant as I should be, which sometimes results in reminders that appear as body tweaks - lower back pull, tight shoulders, or hands and fingers flaring with carpel tunnel.
As we sit about the day, busy in our mind, the body can go virtually unrecognized. For today’s Try It On Tuesday, periodically pay attention to your body. Notice its position, the level of ease or comfort you feel in it, or how stable its support. You can set a reminder for the top of each hour to do a check in; noticing sensations or perhaps a slouch, splayed legs, a bent ankle, or tightness in the shoulders. Then, if it feels right, switch this energy by taking a moment to stretch and create space for something new and refreshing. Doing this throughout the day makes nighttime resting easier and releases mental tensions that would otherwise get caught in your physical being.
Mind and body are intimately connected. Ease in one creates ease in the other. Enjoy!!
Peace,
Shanti
