Choose movement, stillness or a familiar rhythm · S4.2

Choose a familiar movement break

You want a brief change from staying still.

Everyday practice

Try these steps

1. Choose a small movement you already know is comfortable for you, or choose rest instead.
2. Try it within your ordinary comfortable range without pushing or stretching to a target.
3. Stop or return to the task when you choose, noting whether the break suited you.

An example

I change position and move my hands away from the keyboard for a moment.

Reflect

Was movement or stillness more comfortable today?

Next time

Use your preference rather than a rule to move whenever stressed.
